Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup optional mix-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the oats and optional mix-ins such as raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, drop large balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Gently flatten each mound of dough slightly with your palm or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your great big oatmeal cookies with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee!
