Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups quick cooking oats
• nonstick cooking spray with flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients for baking.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until mixed well.
3. Cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Mix in eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease cookie sheets with cooking spray. Place water in a bowl and sugar in another. Roll dough into balls and place on baking sheets. Dip a fork in water, then sugar, and flatten each cookie.
7. Bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway through.
8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool.
