Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 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 (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, followed by the raisins and nuts (if using).
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls 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 lightly golden brown but the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
