Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes) using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the wet mixture and beat again until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add the rolled oats and your choice of raisins or chocolate chips to the dough. Stir until the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded cookie dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) 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. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
