Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats and your choice of optional mix-ins using a spatula or spoon.

Step 7

Scoop out cookie dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned on the edges but still soft in the middle.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy your freshly made oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
