Title: Delicious Oatmeal Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3 cups old-fashioned oats
– 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the oats and raisins or chocolate chips, if desired, until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These delicious oatmeal cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. The combination of the hearty oats, warm spices, and sweet raisins or chocolate chips make these cookies a delightful treat for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
Get ready to fill your home with the inviting aroma of freshly baked oatmeal cookies – they’re a timeless favorite that never goes out of style. Enjoy the simple pleasure of homemade goodness with every bite!
