Now, let’s talk about what you’ll need to whip these up:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Ready? Let’s get to baking!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. This step is crucial for getting that fluffy texture—don’t skip it!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to give it that extra kick of flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and, if you’re feeling indulgent, the raisins or chocolate chips. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look a little soft—that’s okay; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
And there you have it! A sweet, chewy, and absolutely delightful batch of oatmeal cookies that’s sure to bring smiles to everyone. Grab a glass of milk, or whatever you enjoy, and indulge in these homemade bites of goodness. Happy baking!
