Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Finishing

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling the cookies before baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to maintain this temperature for at least 10 minutes to ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Brown Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter and packed brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a light texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the creamed butter mixture and mix until fully combined, creating a cohesive batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and kosher salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until all components are just combined into a uniform dough.
  6. Scoop Dough: Using a small ice cream scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop portions of cookie dough and roll each into a ball.
  7. Roll in Granulated Sugar: Pour the granulated sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball in the sugar coating it evenly, which will add a sweet, crunchy crust once baked.
  8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
  9. Flatten Cookies: Gently press each dough ball down into a flat disc about 1/4 inch thick using the back of a spatula or spoon for even cooking and desired texture.
  10. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, until they develop a light golden brown color on the edges and top, indicating they are properly cooked but still soft inside.
  11. Initial Cooling: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest on the sheet for 10 minutes to firm up and finish cooking slightly from residual heat.
  12. Final Cooling: Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely for an additional 15 minutes before serving to ensure the perfect texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Room temperature butter is essential for proper creaming and cookie texture.
  • Do not overbake to maintain soft centers; remove cookies as soon as edges are lightly browned.
  • Oats add a chewy texture and boost fiber content.
  • You can substitute light brown sugar with dark brown sugar for a richer molasses flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
