I’m not going to pretend these are some kind of healthy cookie for the new year just because they include oats. No, these Oatmeal Cinnamon Cookies, are classic, homey, and delicious, and that’s probably because they include a heaping helping of butter and sugar.

These cookies aren’t hardcore on sweetness. The oats and the warmth of cinnamon really come through. This is a superb winter baking cookie for me. They aren’t all-out spicy in a way that makes a person think of the holidays, but they are still fragrant and cozy.

They are a breeze to make, too. No chill is required. Make and bake.
