Ingredients
- Rolled Oats: 3 cups
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Brown Sugar: 1 cup, packed
- Baking Soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their chewy texture.
- For a warm, comforting treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds.
- Enjoy these cookies as a quick breakfast with a glass of milk or alongside a cup of coffee.
- To prevent tough cookies, avoid overmixing the dough after adding the dry ingredients – a few streaks of flour are perfectly fine!
