How to Make Cape Cod Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup packed light brown sugar, then add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and 1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc., to taste).
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
