Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 180 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Using a spatula, fold the rolled oats into the dough until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to 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 or freeze for longer storage.
