Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure 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
• 0.75 cup Optional add-ins (e.g., raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats and any optional add-ins (such as raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts) until evenly distributed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your soft and chewy oatmeal cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
