The BEST Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

You’ll love all the textures in these oatmeal cookies and their rich buttery flavor. They’re just one of those classic cookies everyone will love and you’ll want to make time and time again.

And of course the ultimate way to enjoy these cookies is fresh, warm from the oven with a tall glass of ice cold, creamy whole milk.

There’s just something so nostalgic about these (oatmeal cookies just like Grandma’s!), and it’s a tradition that should be passed down for generations to come.

Ingredients for Easy Oatmeal Cookies

Old fashioned oats. Don’t use quick oats here or the texture won’t come out the same. Plus they absorb differently so cookies may end up dry.
All-purpose flour. Bleached or unbleached flour will work here.
Baking powder and baking soda. The blend of the two offers cookies with just enough lift.
Cinnamon. If you’d like additional spice flavor add in 1/4 tsp nutmeg and ginger too.
Salt. Don’t leave this out or cookies will taste flat.
Unsalted butter. Careful not to soften butter fully. Semi-firm butter will help cookies spread less.
Light brown sugar and granulated sugar. The combination gives a soft chewy cookie, and the brown sugar adds a light caramel-y flavor.
Eggs. These bind everything together. Use cold eggs so cookies spread less.
Vanilla. You could also use vanilla bean paste here as well.
Raisins. A freshly opened package will give best results, just don’t use some that are all super dry.
Walnuts. Optional, but who doesn’t love the additional chewy crunch to pair with the oats?

How to Store Oatmeal Cookies so They Stay Soft and Moist

Be sure to store them in a well sealed airtight container at room temperature.
Try adding a slice of bread to the container as well. Just don’t lay it directly on cookies or it can make those it’s resting on soggy.
