Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 count Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 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

Spread the rolled oats evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Allow the oats to cool while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Gently fold in the toasted oats, as well as the nuts and raisins or chocolate chips if using, until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still appear slightly underbaked for a chewy texture. For crispier cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
