Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts, fold them into the dough with a spatula.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Crispy Oat Drops! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
