Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the old-fashioned oats and raisins or chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to gently flatten the dough slightly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in these delicious oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
