Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
- Don't overmix the dough, or your cookies will be tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, this will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown, or they will be dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
