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.

I am a passionate foodie who loves to cook, serve and love to see people relishing my creations. Since the time I was small I used to wonder about the 'how' of things in the kitchen.

Then when I finally ventured as an unprofessional kitchen helper for my late grand-mother (a par excellent cook in her own generation) I was fascinated by the amount of stuff you could do to a simple milk and rice to form a most yummy pudding.

Here I am sharing my recipes with a will to learn from some and educate others as well!
