Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, dried fruits, or nuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and salt.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir until well combined.
  4. Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and mix until everything is well incorporated.
  5. If desired, stir in the optional mix-ins.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, serve and enjoy!
