How to Make Copycat Dad's Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup rolled oats.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 2 cups additional rolled oats.
  4. Cover the dough and let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Gently flatten cookies slightly with a fork.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, enjoy these irresistible oatmeal cookies! They're best enjoyed within a few days, but they will stay fresh for a week if stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
