Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly using the back of a fork or your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still be soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Scotch oat cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
