How to Make H O's Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  3. Add 3 cups whole rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until finely ground, resembling oat flour. Add to the wet ingredients.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the dough holds its shape. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
