Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 unit large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the melted butter to a large mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, whisking until fully combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, followed by your optional mix-ins like raisins or chocolate chips, if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy their decadent waxy texture and rich oatmeal flavor!
