Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

These classic chewy oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy. Loaded with brown sugar and hints of cinnamon. These only need 30 minutes of chill time and take just about 10 minutes to bake! Perfect by themselves, fresh out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream, of used to make sandwich cookies!

TOOLS I USED FOR THIS RECIPE:

  • USA Pan Half Sheet Pan – my go-to sheet pans, these are truly non-stick and clean up nicely.
  • KitchenAid 6 Qt. Stand Mixer – I always recommend a stand mixer as it saves time and helps to keep baked goods consistent.
  • Rubber Spatula – a must for any home baker! Perfect for scrapping cookie dough out of the mixing bowl.
  • Portion Scoops – my go to for getting even sized cookies that bake perfectly each time!
