Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until 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 medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the oats, and if desired, fold in the raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts.

Step 7

Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or a spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Enjoy your Big Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
