Deliciously chewy and classic oatmeal cookies made without banana. These cookies feature rolled oats, warm spices, and a perfect balance of sweetness for a timeless treat.
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (220 grams) packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (270 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
