Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
Beat the butter on high for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add both sugars and beat 2 minutes more.
Add vanilla. Add one egg at a time, beating thoroughly between each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl each time.
Sift in half the dry ingredients, and mix on low until just combined. Repeat with the other half.
Stir in the oatmeal by hand. If you're adding toppings, stir those in too.
Shape into 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between each for the cookies to spread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to brown on the edge. It's okay for them to not be fully baked on the top.
Let cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool.
