Units
Scale
- 1 cup 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
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Then fold in the oats and raisins (or chocolate chips, if using).
- Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, let the dough chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- Swap raisins for dried cranberries or chopped nuts for variety.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage
