Quaker Oatmeal Cookie Recipe
Deliciously chewy and hearty, these classic Quaker oatmeal cookies are packed with oats, brown sugar, and a hint of cinnamon, making them a perfect treat for any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 cups Quaker old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Oats and Mix-Ins: Stir in the oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruits.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week for optimal freshness.
