Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup add-ins: chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients.

  5. Fold in Oats and Add-ins: Stir in the rolled oats and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.

  6. Scoop and Bake: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centres are still soft.

  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies are a warm, chewy delight that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and hearty. Whether you enjoy them plain or loaded with your favourite mix-ins, they’re a treat that’s sure to please every cookie lover!

Optional Additions:

  • Add a Drizzle: Drizzle melted dark chocolate or caramel over cooled cookies for extra indulgence.
  • Boost Flavour: Add a teaspoon of molasses for a deeper, richer sweetness.
  • Make Them Vegan: Use coconut oil instead of butter and flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
