🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

6. Fold in the oats, and if desired, stir in raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor and texture.

7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.

9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy your irresistible oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot drink!
