Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour in UK)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or raisins optional!

Instructions
 

  • Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or using an electric beater) for about 30 seconds.
  • Add sugars and beat until light and fluffy (pause to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, if needed).
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined.
  • Stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until completely combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so ingredients are well-mixed.
  • Gradually stir in oats until completely combined. If using raisins or chocolate chips, stir them in at this point.
  • Cover dough with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
  • Drop cookie dough by rounded 2 Tablespoon-sized balls onto parchment paper, spacing at least 2" apart. If desired, roll cookies between your palms to make a smooth ball, which will give you more uniform cookies.
  • Bake on 375F (190C) for 10-12 minutes (edges should be slightly browned, centers may still be slightly underbaked but shouldn't be raw, they'll bake completely as they cool).
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before serving and enjoying.
