Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips optional
  • 0.5 cup chopped nuts optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
