Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats and your choice of mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your superb oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
