Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped unsalted nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup dried fruits (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
• 0.25 cup seeds (e.g., sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold in the nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips (if using), and seeds with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they'll firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack on the go!
