Homemade Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Enjoy chewy, homemade oatmeal cookies just like grandma used to make. This recipe has been perfected with decades of cheek pinching and bear hugs.
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
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.
