Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spatula, fold in the oats and raisins or chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed in the cookie dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious homemade oatmeal cookies!
