Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar (dark or light)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1/2 cup (75g) chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup (90g) raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  3. Beat in 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 large eggs (one at a time), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and optional spices like cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring slowly until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and your choice of optional nuts or dried fruit.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Flatten gently if you prefer thinner cookies.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for best creaming results. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. Chilling dough for 15-20 minutes helps control spreading. Substitute gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free version. Use coconut oil and flax eggs for vegan adaptation.
