Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Hi Everyone, these Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies were a request from my daughter who does not like raisins, or cranberries, or nuts, or any kind in her oatmeal cookies.

We have a family favorite cookie recipe and early recipe post on this blog, Cranberry Raisin Oatmeal Cookies.

I make these cookies quite often because we (well, most of us) love them!

She said, "Mommy, why can't you make them without the raisins?" I said, "Well, I certainly can!"

And that is how these Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies were brought forth into the world.

I photographed these cookies months ago, like, maybe even before Thanksgiving Christmas and they are just getting on the blog.

Do you know how that happened?

I was thinking of making them again and realized the recipe was not up yet!

Gluten-Free Option

These cookies also have a gluten-free option for all my gluten-free friends out there. Just use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-Free Flour (I link to it in the recipe card below) and you have a great Gluten-Free Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie!

I do not strictly adhere to a gluten-free diet but I do develop gluten-free recipes for the blog because I like to reduce the amount of gluten intake I have from time to time and I have friends who are gluten-free.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) PLUS 6 tablespoons butter, softened, I prefer really soft, room temperature butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground Saigon cinnamon (or more, if you prefer)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

1. Note: All the ingredients, including the eggs, should be at room temperature before starting this recipe. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter (it shouldn't be hot, just room temperature), brown sugar, granulated sugar on medium speed until creamy.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well.
3. Add combined dry ingredients incrementally to creamed butter mixture, mix well.
4. Add 2 eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add oats and mix well.
5. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough balls onto two parchment lined cookie sheets or silpat-lined cookies sheets. *Using the OXO cookie scoop, I get about 31-41 cookies, depending how generously I am scooping. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
6. Cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets, then remove to wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container - if there are any left to store!

Notes

• These cookies also have a gluten-free option for all my gluten-free friends out there. Just use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour (I link to it in the recipe card below) and you have a great Gluten-Free Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie!
