Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1½ 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, dried fruit)
  • Maldon salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then remove from heat and mix in the brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  5. Mix in the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the cooled butter and sugar mixture, stirring until well blended.
  6. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually fold in the dry mixture until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  7. Add your choice of mix-ins: Fold in your selected add-ins to customize your cookies.
  8. Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Finish with Maldon salt: If desired, sprinkle a tiny bit of Maldon salt on top immediately after removing from the oven for extra flavor.
  11. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage.
