We have been making these oatmeal cookies for years.
They are a simple and yummy cookie.
Oatmeal Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
- you can add m&m’s or chocolate chips to these
In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Wow those cookies look yummy and great simple recipe! I am going to try them today! Do you ever freeze the dough?
thanks!
No, I have never frozen the dough on this recipe. I have on others though and have had good results. The original recipe came from allrecipes.com. The have it as just oatmeal cookies. I decided it would be good with the extras like Choc. chips or M&M’s. I make it now with the extras and haven’t used just the basic in a while.. But you could look at the comments on it at allrecipes and see if anyone else has frozen it. It is called listed as Soft Oatmeal Cookies.
