Ingredients

  • 3 cups Quaker oats rolled old fashioned
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter 2 ½ sticks, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt only if using unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins or chopped walnuts, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat until creamy and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated and smooth with a hand mixer.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix until incorporated.
  • Add the oats and optional raisins/walnuts, mixing until incorporated.
  • Add tablespoonfuls or use a 1 ½-inch cookie scoop to drop batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
  • Chill the uncooked cookie balls for 30 minutes in the refridgerator.
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown and the centers still look under-baked.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using a rigid spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack.
  • Cool slightly before serving. To store for later, cool completely and place in airtight containers.

Notes

  • Storage: These cookies are best when fresh, but you can store them in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
