How to Make The Essential Soft Oatmeal Cookies King Arthur Flour

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips (or other mix-ins).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers will still appear slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
