Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Full of chewy oats, brown sugar, walnuts and warm spices, these classic homemade oatmeal cookies have crisp edges and soft, chewy middles. They’re very close to the ones my mom used to make.
Servings: 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon or substitute with pumpkin pie spice
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment.
- In a medium bowl or using your stand mixer, cream together 1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup white sugar, and 1 cup packed brown sugar. Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a separate bowl and stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in 3 cups quick cooking oats and 1/2 cup walnuts.
- Use a small or medium cookie scoop and drop dough 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly.
- Bake for 8 minutes, until the edges are set and the middles no longer look wet. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Each cookie uses about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough, so a full (1x) batch makes about 4 dozen. The cook time is for one full batch: about 4 pans, baked one at a time.
