Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low to combine.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated. (Try not to overmix; a few streaks of flour are OK.) Gradually add the oats and mix until evenly combined.
- Scoop out mounds of dough approximately 2 tablespoons each and roll into balls. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets; they will spread out.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown with crisp edges and very slightly soft centers. If baking more than one pan at a time, rotate them midway through the bake time to ensure the cookies brown evenly. Cool cookies completely on the baking sheets, then store tightly covered at room temperature.

OLD FASHIONED CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES
Steps:
- * 12 to 24 hours before you want to bake these cookies, prepare the cookie dough as follows: Sift together the flour, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a medium-sized bowl. In a large bowl, either by hand or in an electric mixer, cream together the butter, maple syrup and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until they are fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract. Beat again. Gradually add the flour mixture to the ingredients in the large bowl, stirring just to combine. Add the oatmeal, stir to combine. Add the chips or dried fruit. Stir to combine one last time. Form the dough into 36 small balls. Place the balls in a covered, airtight container and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours. When you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. (If you have a convection oven, set it at convection 350 degrees F.) Place the balls on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them out, as they will flatten a bit during the baking process. Sprinkle the balls lightly with sea salt. Bake until the cookies are golden and crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. Keep the cookies in an airtight container until you are ready to serve them. Enjoy. *Note: It is important to chill these cookies before baking them. The high butter content will cause the cookies to spread out too thinly if not fully chilled before baking. Chilled cookie dough will allow the cookies to keep their shape during the baking process.

THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
- Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
- Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.
