Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are the perfect blend of soft, chewy, and all-around delightful. Whether you’re looking to impress your friends or just want to indulge in some serious munching, this recipe has got you covered. So, without further ado, let’s get to what you need!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, because why not?!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that magical cookie-making temperature just right!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. I hope you have a strong arm, because this is an arm workout!
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. The batter should look like a beautiful sugary cloud. That’s how you know you’re on the right track!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. We want these cookies to be a team, not individuals.
- Stir in the oats and chocolate chips (if you’re using them). Welcome all those delicious elements into the mix!
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto greased baking sheets. Leave plenty of room for them to spread! Cookies need their space to shine!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Don’t go too crazy here—no one likes a hard cookie!
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks. Try not to eat them all in one go!
Once cooled, grab yourself a glass of milk, put on your favorite cozy socks, and enjoy the fruits of your labor! Remember: Cookie calories don’t count on weekends—so get baking!
