Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups King Arthur 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 nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, and if desired, mix in the raisins and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
