Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats and your choice of optional mix-ins using a spatula or spoon.
Step 7
Scoop out cookie dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned on the edges but still soft in the middle.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy your freshly made oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
