Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking.
Cream butter and sugars
- In a bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. This step makes cookies soft.
Add eggs and vanilla
- Add eggs one at a time. Mix well after each. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Mix dry ingredients
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir well to distribute evenly.
Combine wet and dry
- Add dry mixture into wet mixture slowly. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep cookies soft.
Add oats and extras
- Stir in rolled oats and raisins or chocolate chips. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
Shape the cookies
- Scoop dough onto baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
Bake the cookies
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look slightly soft.
Cool the cookies
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on tray for five minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack.
Serve and enjoy
- Serve cookies warm or at room temperature. Enjoy their chewy texture and rich flavor.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for best texture
- Add nuts like walnuts for crunch
- Use dark chocolate chips for richer taste
- Chill dough for thicker cookies
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor
- Replace raisins with dried cranberries
- Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option
