Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins or chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for optimal moistness.
