Instructions

  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in oats and any optional mix-ins like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts.

  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture.No need to chill the dough, but you can for thicker cookies.Customize with your favorite mix-ins like coconut, nuts, or dried fruit.Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.Freeze cookie dough balls for a quick treat later.
