Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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 nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, raisins (if using), and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Wonderful Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
