Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

By Addie

My family loves these big old-fashioned cookies. They’re crisp, yet still chewy in the center, and the cinnamon makes them a little different from typical oatmeal cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups quick-cooking oats

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats.

2. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute before removing to wire racks. Yield: 4 dozen.

Excellent flavor and texture, this is one of my favorite cookies! However, as with some other cookie recipes from tasteofhome, I found I had to add up to 1/2 cup of flour so that they weren't spreading like crazy. Now whenever I make them I typically use 2 cups flour (often whole wheat pastry flour), and they turn out much more like the picture. All around a great basic to have one hand!

This could easily be an award winning Recipe. I make then all the time and they don't stay in the house for long! I will be entering them in a contest this fall. So good!

I love the taste of these cookies but they come out flat everytime and do not stay together when I remove them from the cookie sheet.

Cookies looked nothing like the picture, flattened very little and on the second day they were rock hard. I was disappointed but will try them again.

These are delicious.Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! I didn't add any cinnamon but decided to add about a cup of coconut and they came out so yummy. to all of you with problems with the cookie breaking, try letting them cool 1-3 minutes and you should have no problems.This would be a great recipe to add ingredients to such as nuts,crushed cereal, or dried fruit. Good luck!

These are very good, but they came out very flat and broke apart when I removed them from the cookie sheets. Not sure how to change that.

I loved these cookies! They had an amazing flavor! Only thing is, for some reason they were flatter than I think they should have been.. Maybe I missed something.. or measured something wrong. Otherwise, AWESOME. Will definitely be making again soon!

This is my all time oatmeal cookie recipe, it turns out just right everytime I make them. The recipe doubles and comes out perfect.
