Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Using a teaspoon, drop small amounts of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between each cookie as they spread significantly while baking.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and lacy.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the parchment paper for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They’ll crisp up as they cool.
Notes
[‘Watch the oven closely as these cookies bake quickly.’, ‘Leave at least 2 inches between each dollop of batter to prevent overcrowding.’, ‘Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.’]
