Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 packets instant oatmeal packets (any flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips or add-ins of your choice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant oatmeal packets, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using chocolate chips or other add-ins, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Be careful not to overbake.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your chewy and flavorful oatmeal pack cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
