Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
- Add Oats: Stir in the rolled oats by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set. For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them by taking them out around 10 minutes.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
