Oatmeal Cookies
Oatmeal Cookies made with softened butter, brown and white sugars, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and rolled oats produce a chewy and slightly crumbly treat. The batter is scooped into balls and baked at 375°F until the edges brown lightly while the centers remain just set. The cinnamon adds warm spice, balancing the sweetness for a classic oatmeal cookie flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and in a stand mixer cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until lightened and fluffy before adding in the eggs and vanilla.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a small bowl and add it into the stand mixer in small batches until it is all just combined, then add in the oats.
- Roll the dough in two tablespoon sized balls and bake for 8-10 minutes (the middles will look slightly undone, but the edges will have a hint of brown).
Notes
- Using softened unsalted butter helps achieve a fluffy creamed mixture essential for texture.
- Bake until edges are lightly browned but centers remain slightly soft for chewy cookies.
- Cinnamon adds warm spice that complements the oats; adjusting to taste is possible.
