Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 160 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 100 grams raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 18 evenly-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball down slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges. Do not overbake; the centers should still look soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft-baked oatmeal cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
