Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 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 large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted 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, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and, if using, the raisins or chocolate chips, until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers will appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on them for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
