Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
  5. Fold in oats and optional mix-ins like raisins or chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, bake for 10 minutes; for crispier cookies, bake longer.
  • Substitute raisins with dried cranberries or chopped nuts if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
