These easy oatmeal cookies are a quick treat made in one bowl. They bake up perfectly every time with a buttery brown sugar flavor, crisp edges and a soft, chewy center.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupunsalted butter
  • 1 cuplight brown sugar (, packed)
  • ¾ cupgranulated sugar
  • 2 largeeggs
  • 2 teaspoonsvanilla extract
  • 2 ⅓ cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoonsalt
  • 2 teaspoonsbaking soda
  • ½ teaspoonbaking powder
  • 2 cupsold-fashioned oats

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  2. 2

    Cream the butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder (and cinnamon if desired). Stir just until combined. Then mix in the oats.

  4. 4

    Use a medium cookie scoop and scoop onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges are just light golden brown (the centers should look a little underdone). Take them out a little early for softer cookies and bake them a little longer for crispier cookies.

    Let cookies rest on the pan for 2 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
