Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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
- 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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats, raisins (if using), and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your Wonderful Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
