Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips with a spatula.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still look slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea and enjoy!
