Ingredients

1 cup Butter or margarine
3/4 cup Brown sugar; packed
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
2 ea Eggs
1 3/4 cup Flour; all-purpose
2 cup Uncooked oats
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for coating)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer or sturdy whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, uncooked oats, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
6
In a small shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create the coating mixture.
7
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8
Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture or sprinkle it lightly over the top of each cookie before baking.
9
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute to set, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Note

For best results, ensure your butter is softened to room temperature before creaming. This helps create a lighter texture.

You can substitute old-fashioned rolled oats with quick-cooking oats, though the texture may be slightly less chewy.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
