Ingredients

Servings
  • ¾ cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • cups brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  2. Add butter and brown sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, around 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for another minute.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Add the oats and combine. The mixture will be a little tacky, but you should be able to roll it into a ball in your hands without making a total mess. If it is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the mixture can be handled.
  4. Roll the dough into 1 to 1½ inch balls, using your hands, and place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until the edges begin to brown and the centers are set. Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Notes

  • Recipe Tips.
  • Store cookie dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 days before baking. You can also form cookie dough balls and freeze them for 3-6 months. See How to Store Cookie Dough for tips. 
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
  • in an airtight container for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
  • We use old-fashioned oats for the classic chewy texture, but quick oats can be used and will produce a softer cookie.
  • While plain oatmeal cookies are divine, we often add chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to the dough.
  • The butter needs to be at room temperature. Too cold, and it won't mix in well. Too warm, and the cookies will spread flat in the oven.
