Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cups unsalted butter softened
  • 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3.25 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1.5 cups mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, etc.) (optional)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Note: this dough needs to be chilled. Plan ahead!
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just combined. Stir in oats and desired mix-ins.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, form dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
