Best Chewy Oatmeal Cookies – Soft, Sweet, and Easy to Make

These chewy oatmeal cookies are soft, buttery, and packed with flavor! A simple recipe made with old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, and optional add-ins like raisins or chocolate chips.

Why You’ll Love These Oatmeal Cookies

There’s something nostalgic about a warm, chewy oatmeal cookie straight from the oven. This classic recipe delivers soft centers, crisp edges, and a cozy cinnamon flavor. Whether you love them plain or with raisins or chocolate chips, these cookies are perfect for snacking, gifting, or baking with kids.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Optional: 1 cup raisins, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts

How to Make Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5: Mix and Fold

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir in oats and your preferred add-ins (raisins, chocolate chips, etc.).

Step 6: Scoop and Bake

Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet. Space about 2 inches apart.

Step 7: Bake and Cool

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Cookies

  • Don’t overbake—they continue to cook on the pan as they cool.
  • Use room temperature butter for even creaming.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Customize the mix-ins: white chocolate, coconut, dried cranberries, or pecans are great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?
Quick oats will work but give a softer texture. Old-fashioned oats offer more chew.

Are oatmeal cookies healthy?
They contain oats and less refined flour, but still have butter and sugar. For a healthier version, try reducing sugar or using whole wheat flour.

How long do oatmeal cookies last?
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
