Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Optional mix-ins: 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips, 1 cup (150g) raisins, 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats and any desired mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped walnuts.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.’, ‘Customize the mix-ins with options like butterscotch chips, dried cranberries, or flaky sea salt.’]
