Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, salted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar tightly packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups quick oats or rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, begin mixing together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar and mix on low speed. Increase to medium and continue mixing until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
- Add in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the quick oats until fully incorporated.
- Scoop the dough into 2-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, about 12 per pan. If desired, sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top of each ball of dough.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 15 minutes before serving warm, or transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
