Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- Optional: 1 cup raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
