Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using them, fold in the chocolate chips or raisins with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your oat cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of milk!
