Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional, but recommended
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted but not hot
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup add-ins of choice such as finely chopped walnuts, raisins, chocolate chips, etc.
Optional Toppings
- 2-3 tablespoons add-ins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients. Whisk until well-mixed.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Whisk as long as you can. Switch to stirring and folding with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Fold in add-ins.
- Cover bowl and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes, until firm throughout but scoopable with a firm hand.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Flatten cookies about halfway. Cookies will spread just a bit. Optional: press add-ins into the tops of each cookie.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, until deep golden on the bottom and golden on the edges for crispy cookies. Mine took 16 minutes.
- Place the cookie sheet onto a cooling rack and cool for about 10 minutes. Transfer directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing. Storing instructions below. Enjoy!
