Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 50 grams Chopped almonds or hazelnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
