Make the best homemade oatmeal cookies from scratch. This easy, one-bowl recipe yields cookies that are soft and chewy in the center with slightly crisp edges. Customize them easily with chocolate chips or raisins.

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
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup mix-ins (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 light and fluffy. This is your one-bowl start.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir 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. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats and your chosen mix-ins (chocolate chips or raisins) until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown.
  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, use quick oats instead of rolled oats, or blend half of the rolled oats before adding them to the dough.
  • If you prefer a crispier edge, flatten the dough balls slightly before baking.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
