Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the oats and raisins (or chocolate chips, if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade Quaker Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
