Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the rolled oats using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to help create a more uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their chewy texture.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense cookies.
- For extra softness, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish setting on the baking sheet.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- For added flavor, consider toasting the oats briefly before adding them to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain their chewy texture.
