Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Mixture

Start by cracking the *egg* into a mixing bowl. Add the *sugar*, a *pinch of salt*, and the *vanilla extract* to the bowl. Then, add the *softened butter*.

*Whisk* the mixture together until it achieves a light and fluffy consistency.

Step 2

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Next, add the *oatmeal* along with the *all-purpose flour* and *baking soda* to the bowl. Mix well until you have a *smooth and even dough*.

Once combined, place the dough in the fridge for about *10 to 15 minutes* to chill.

Step 3

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. After the dough has chilled, use your hands to roll pieces of the dough into *ball shapes*. Then, gently flatten each ball to form cookie shapes.

Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet and place them in the oven. Bake for approximately *20 minutes* or until they are lightly golden.

Servings

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute traditional flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. This will maintain the texture while making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities! 🌾🚫

Vegan Option: Replace the butter with coconut oil and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) instead of the egg. These alternatives will keep the cookies delicious while being plant-based! 🌱🌟

Faq

  • What if my cookies spread too much while baking?

    This can happen if the dough is too warm. Ensure you chill the dough properly before baking, and try adding a little more flour if necessary.

  • How do I know when my cookies are done baking?

    Look for a light golden color around the edges. They will continue to firm up after you take them out of the oven, so don’t overbake!

  • Can I add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts?

    Absolutely! Feel free to fold in your favorite mix-ins to add extra flavor and texture to your cookies.

  • What’s the best way to store my cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them fresher for longer, consider freezing them!

  • What is the best type of oats to use for these cookies?

    Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for this recipe as they provide the ideal texture. Quick oats can be used, but it may change the consistency a bit.

  • Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months before baking.
