Make the best homemade oatmeal cookies from scratch. This easy one bowl recipe creates soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with crispy edges, perfect for a comforting snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup mix-in of choice (chocolate chips or raisins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and your chosen mix-in (chocolate chips or raisins) by hand until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers should still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy oatmeal cookies, slightly underbake them. They will firm up as they cool.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
  • To make these low sugar oatmeal cookies, substitute the granulated sugar with a granulated sugar substitute.
  • If you want crispy edges, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
