How to make these Oatmeal Cookies
Go from mixing bowl to first bite in less than an hour with this recipe!
- Beat butter and two sugars together. This recipe uses a mix of white caster sugar and light brown sugar to improve the texture and flavour.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla. 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla is enough to add richness and flavour to the cookie dough.
- Add the oats and flour. Use old-fashioned jumbo rolled oats for the best cookie texture. Instant oats just won’t cut it!
- Fold in the mix-ins. Depending on the flavour you choose, throw in the mix-ins and fold them into the cookie dough.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls. Use 2 heaped tbsps of cookie dough per cookie and roll into balls.
- Bake for 12-14 mins. Look for golden edges but a soft under-baked middle.
- Leave to cool for 15 mins. This is super important! Resist the temptation to move (or eat 🙊) the cookies before they’ve had time to cool otherwise, they will fall apart.

Instructions
Start by making the oatmeal cookie dough
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
- Line two large flat baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Beat the butter and two sugars together for at least 5 minutes either by hand or using an electric mixer.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Now add the flour and rolled oats, and fold together until combined.
Add the mix-ins
- For peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies: Add the peanut butter and chocolate chips, and mix together until combined.OR
- For carrot cake oatmeal Cookies: Add the grated carrot, chopped walnuts and cinnamon, and mix together until combined.OR
- For white chocolate raspberry oatmeal cookies: Add the white chocolate chips and freeze-dried raspberries, and mix together until combined.
Roll the cookies
- Take two heaped tablespoons of cookie dough and use your hands to roll it into a ball. Place on the baking tray.
- Repeat this step until all the cookie dough has been used up. Leave about 5cm between each cookie so they have enough room to spread out. I normally fit 4 cookie balls on each baking tray and bake them in batches.
Time to bake!
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but the middle is still soft.
- Whilst the cookies are still warm, use a large round cookie cutter to gently scoot them into a perfectly round shape.
- Leave to cool and firm up on the baking tray for at least 15 minutes.
