How to Make Just Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, 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 one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup chopped nuts (optional), and any other desired mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, etc.).
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Avoid overbaking!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
