Discover the ultimate chewy oatmeal cookies recipe with crispy edges and soft centers. Made with brown sugar and hearty oats for the perfect family treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Make sure each ingredient is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and any optional add-ins like raisins or chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and hearty.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
