Description

Nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh home-baked oatmeal cookies. The combination of oatmeal with fruit and nuts makes them sumptuous and perfect for a snack or even a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

180 g (1½) All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking soda
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Ground cinnamon (optional but adds lovely warmth)

Wet Ingredients

226 g (1 cup) Unsalted butter softened to room temperature
200 g (1 cup) Packed light brown sugar
100 g (½ cup) White granulated sugar
2 large Eggs room temperature
2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
270 g (3 cups) Old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)

Instructions

Step 1 – Prep - Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2 – Mix the Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soft butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy — about a minute by hand. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisk again until the mixture looks glossy and slightly lighter in color. (No need for a hand mixer — just a sturdy whisk and some enthusiasm.)

Step 3 – Add the Dry Ingredients - Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon right over the wet mixture. Switch to a spatula and fold everything together until no dry streaks of flour remain.

Step 4 – Add the Oats - Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 5 – Scoop and Chill - Scoop 2 tablespoons (≈ 35 g) of dough per cookie onto your lined trays. Cover and chill the dough balls for 15–20 minutes in the fridge — this keeps them thick and chewy when baked.
Step 6 – Bake - Bake chilled cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown but the centers still look a little soft.
Step 7 – Cool - Let cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
