Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups King Arthur 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)

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, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats, and if desired, mix in the raisins and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
