Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula, fold in the oats and raisins or chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed in the cookie dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft. Do not overbake.

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 delicious homemade oatmeal cookies!
