Get ready to elevate your cookie game with these irresistible Salty Oatmeal Cookies—a delightful twist on the classic oatmeal treat. These cookies strike the perfect balance between sweet and savory, blending the nutty richness of rolled oats with a subtle hint of cinnamon and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. Creamy butter and a combination of light brown and granulated sugars create a perfectly chewy texture, while the dash of vanilla adds a cozy warmth. The final flourish of sea salt enhances every bite, making these cookies a standout snack or dessert. Ready in under 30 minutes, they're ideal for satisfying cravings or impressing guests. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or your favorite tea for the ultimate indulgence.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a stand mixer or a hand mixer on medium speed, for about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium 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 until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the rolled oats by hand using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten them. Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your salty oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
