Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts, optional)
• 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate 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. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and raisins or chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or spoon.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spread.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.

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

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
