If you're a thin and crispy fan, then these oatmeal cookies will be your new go-to recipe. They're both crunchy on the edges, but just soft enough in the middle, making them the perfect cookie combo.
Ingredients
1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 c. (215 g.) packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. (100 g.) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 c. rolled oats
1 1/2 c. (180 g.) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Raisins, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and/or semisweet chocolate chips, for mix-ins
Direction
Preheat oven to 350º. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Fold in around 3/4 cup desired mix-ins (if using). Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, arrange on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2" apart, and slightly flatten.
Bake cookies until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
