Ingredients

Instructions

  • Move a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside.
  • Cream butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, completely incorporating each egg before adding the next. Beat until everything is completely incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
  • Sift the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon over the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Add the rolled oats then mix until completely incorporated.
  • Place rounded tablespoons of dough on the baking sheet. Bake 10−12 minutes or until just set (or just slightly underdone) in the center.
  • Remove from the oven, allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet 2 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Like raisins or dried fruit such as cranberries or cherries in your cookies? Go right ahead and add them in. About ¾ cup is perfect.
