How to Make Soft Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the 1 cup packed light brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups rolled oats.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Shape each mound slightly with your hand for a softer look.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
