Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Rolled Oats
- ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
Wet Ingredients
- 100 gm Butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup Sugar granulated
- ½ cup Demerara Sugar or brown sugar
- 1 Large Egg room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and demerara sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a tender cookie.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- For chewier cookies, leave the dough mounds as they are. For crispier cookies, gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass or a spatula.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Use rolled oats for a rugged and rustic texture. Avoid quick-cooking or instant oats.
- Customize your cookies with add-ins like chocolate chips, broken candies, chopped caramels, or raisins.
Expert Tips
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and baking time.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
