Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cups chopped walnuts
- 1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, walnuts, raisins (or dried cranberries), and chocolate chips, if using.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly undercooked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
