Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 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)
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, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the rolled oats and raisins (or optional chocolate chips) until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea!
