Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 160 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and well combined, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and your choice of optional mix-ins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Lightly press each ball of dough to slightly flatten them into 'buttons.'
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden, but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
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. Enjoy!
