Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (226 grams) butter , at room temperature
  • 1 cup (213 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (200 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups (297 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats , not quick cooking
  • Optional add-ins: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or M&Ms
  • Coarse of flaky salt , for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, or in large bowl with hand-held mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add vanilla and mix until well combined.
  • In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and oats. Add to butter mixture all at once and mix on low until combined.
  • Use a medium (1½ tablespoon) or large cookie scoop (3 tablespoon) to portion dough and arrange a few inches apart on sheet pans lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake until edges just begin to turn golden, about 8-10 minutes for smaller cookies, 10-12 minutes for larger cookies.
  • Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
  • Sprinkle baked cookies with coarse salt, if desired. Let cookies cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy within a few days!
