Old-Fashioned Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
Cozy • Nostalgic • Bakery-Style Goodness
These Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies are the kind of cookies that fill the whole house with warmth. They’re buttery, golden, lightly crisp around the edges, and soft and chewy in the center — the perfect balance.
This old-fashioned recipe has been passed around for generations because it always works. It’s simple, reliable, and unbelievably delicious. These cookies are the ones people grab two at a time… and then ask you for the recipe.
⭐ A Short History
Oatmeal cookies originated in Scotland, where oats were a dietary staple. When Scottish immigrants brought oat-based baking to North America, the oatmeal cookie became a sweeter, softer version of the traditional oatcake.
By the 1900s, recipes similar to this one appeared in American cookbooks, adding butter, sugar, vanilla, and spices — turning the humble oat cookie into a beloved classic.
This recipe keeps that nostalgic charm alive.
⭐ Ingredients
Creaming Mixture
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
(Optional) ½ cup granulated sugar for sweeter cookies
2 eggs
Dry Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups oatmeal (old-fashioned or quick oats)
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder
Flavoring
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Mix-Ins
1–2 cups chocolate chips
Raisins
Chopped pecans or walnuts
White chocolate + cranberries
Cinnamon (½–1 teaspoon)
Coconut flakes
Butterscotch chips
⭐ Instructions
1. Cream the Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
2. Add Eggs & Vanilla
Mix in both eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and blend well.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk: Flour, oatmeal, baking soda, salt, baking powder.
4. Mix Dough
Add dry mixture to wet mixture. Stir until fully combined. Fold in any mix-ins.
5. Chill (Optional but Amazing!)
Refrigerate dough 30 minutes — this prevents spreading and deepens flavor.
6. Scoop & Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-size balls onto a baking sheet. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
7. Cool & Enjoy
Cool on a wire rack. Eat warm for the ultimate experience.
