Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup optional mix-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the oats and optional mix-ins such as raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.

Step 7

Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, drop large balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

Step 8

Gently flatten each mound of dough slightly with your palm or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly soft.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your great big oatmeal cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee!
