Print Recipe

A delightful cookie recipe that strikes the perfect balance between chewy and crunchy, offering a heavenly texture with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups add-ins of your choice (chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit)
  • Maldon salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, then stir in the brown sugar until well blended.
  3. Chill the butter and sugar mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 to 20 minutes to allow it to cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and kosher salt until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the cooled butter and sugar mixture, stirring until everything is blended smoothly.
  6. Gently fold in the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Carefully fold in your selected add-ins to incorporate them evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden, and the centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. If desired, sprinkle with Maldon salt before allowing the cookies to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

For the best texture, ensure your butter is melted but not hot before mixing with the sugar. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
