There’s nothing better than a warm, chewy oatmeal cookie straight from the oven! This old-fashioned recipe is a true favorite in my kitchen.

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips or raisins, optional
- ⅛ teaspoon Flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips or raisins, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances their chewy texture.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Optional: Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of flaky sea salt before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will set as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough enhances the flavor and texture. If you're short on time, chilling for even 10 minutes will help.
- You can swap in raisins, dried cranberries, or even chopped nuts for a different twist. Try a mix for the best of both worlds!
- Use old-fashioned oats for the chewiest results.
- Sprinkle flaky salt before baking for a sweet-savory balance.
- Slightly underbake for softer cookies—don’t wait for them to look fully done.
- Store with a slice of bread to keep them fresh longer.
