Scale
Pantry
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 grams)
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Dairy & Eggs
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (1 cup)
- 2 large eggs
Other
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand just until combined. The dough will be thick.
- Chill Dough: Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto a silicone mat-lined baking sheet, spacing cookies about 3 inches apart. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake: Bake for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked when you remove them from the oven, but they will continue to bake on the hot baking sheet.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, use more brown sugar. For crispier cookies, use more granulated sugar.
- You can add other ingredients to the dough, such as chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, or dried fruit.
- If you don’t have a silicone mat, you can line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
