Easy Brown Sugar Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies
This recipe for homemade oatmeal cookies delivers chewy, perfectly spiced cookies every time. I like leaving them simple, flavored only with cinnamon but they are delicious with added raisins, chocolate chips or nuts.
Ingredients
Full oatmeal cookie recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card.
- Butter.
- Brown sugar.
- Eggs.
- Vanilla extract.
- Oats. Rolled oats or Old Fashioned oats are best.
- Flour.
- Baking powder.
- Baking soda.
- Cinnamon.
- Salt.
- Make the cookie dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer and large bowl), cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Scrape the bowl down then add the eggs, one at a time. Beat well after each addition and scrape the bowl down to make sure all the ingredients incorporate well. Add the vanilla and mix in. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with the rolled oats and mix on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing as this will result in tough cookies.
- Chill: Scoop the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper using a ice cream scoop or tablespoons. Space them a few centimeters apart to give them some room while they bake and spread. Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill for 15 minutes.
- Bake: Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and place into the oven. Allow to bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown with crisp edges. The centers will still be a little soft but that gives you the chewy end product. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.
To add more flavor and texture to these cookies, stir a cup of any of the following into the cookie dough:
- Raisins.
- Chocolate chips.
- Dried cranberries.
- Dried cherries.
- Pecan nuts.
- Walnuts.
Yes! Freeze the formed cookie dough balls on a baking sheet until solid then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen until golden brown and cooked through.

Can you confirm 1 cup of flour is correct?
Thank you
Yup!
Under nutritional information it says 20g of sugar…is that the breakdown per cookie or for the entire batch of dough?
Per cookie.
