Carolyn
These oatmeal cookies vanish quickly! They're lightly spiced, perfectly sweet and dense, with plenty of old fashioned oats.

Equipment

  • Sheet pans
  • Stand Mixer with the Paddle Attachment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 yolk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the egg and yolk to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
  • Add the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Mix until incorporated and the mixture forms a cookie dough.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 6 cookies onto the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look underdone.
  • Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
