Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 0.5 cups Eggnog
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Optional: white chocolate chips or raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg yolk, eggnog, and vanilla extract, mixing until the wet ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using white chocolate chips or raisins, gently fold them into the dough with a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls 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 lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this will ensure soft, chewy cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet 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 or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy!
