Easy Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line two light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream room temperature butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in eggs and vanilla until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly incorporate the remaining ingredients, including rolled oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and combine until the dough has just come together.

Step 4

Scoop into cookies, place on prepared sheets, and put in the preheated oven. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft but not gooey.

Step 5

Cool for 5 minutes on the hot baking sheet before transferring to cooling racks. Store in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
