Description

These easy-to-make, classic moist oatmeal cookies can be loaded up with chocolate chips or raisins.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon molasses, if using
  • 3 cups old-fashioned whole oats (not quick cooking)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chunks or raisins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
  3.  Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Next, add the eggs and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, as needed.
  5. Then add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high, until combined. 
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and continue to mix on low until incorporated.
  7. Then add the oats and chocolate (or raisins) and mix at low speed until combined.
  8. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. 
  9. When ready to bake, roll the dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned, about 12-14 minutes. The centers may still look a bit undercooked but will set during cooling.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
