Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats evenly throughout the dough.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart as they will spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
