Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 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 (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened 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. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the oats, followed by the raisins and nuts (if using), until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven, one sheet at a time, for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
