Description

These chewy oatmeal cookies studded with walnuts and spiced with a hint of delicious cinnamon are a favorite treat for dessert or an after-school snack.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2 Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time, then stir in vanilla.
3 Combine flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats and walnuts until just blended. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
