Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams light brown sugar
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Form the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.
Lightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to create a slight disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
