We love letting brown sugar shine in cookie recipes! Brown sugar not only works as the main source of sweetness but also has more moisture than white sugar and makes cookies a little softer and chewier, just like this recipe for easy brown sugar oatmeal cookies. We used only simple ingredients you likely already have on hand so this can be your new go-to oatmeal cookie recipe when you want to make a large batch of cookies in less than an hour. While these cookies are perfect on their own, they also pair well with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra-indulgent treat!
