Easy Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
Easy Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies combine rolled oats, brown sugar, butter, and warming cinnamon for a classic chewy cookie. The dough is creamed before adding eggs and dry ingredients, resulting in a soft texture with a gentle spice from cinnamon. Chilling the dough before baking helps maintain their shape and enhances flavor. These cookies bake quickly, forming lightly browned edges and a tender center that balances sweetness and spice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer and large bowl), cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Scrape the bowl down then add the eggs, one at a time. Beat well after each addition and scrape the bowl down to make sure all the ingredients incorporate well.
- Add the vanilla and mix in. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with the rolled oats and mix on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as this will result in tough cookies.
- Scoop the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper using a ice cream scoop or tablespoons. Space them a few centimeters apart to give them some room while they bake and spread. Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and place into the oven.
- Allow to bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown with crisp edges.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
