Description
Indulge in the nostalgic comfort of these classic chewy oatmeal cookies, a simple yet irresistible treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon molasses
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rolled oats.
Step 3: To the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add butter and brown sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth.
Step 4: Add eggs, vanilla, and molasses. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5: With the mixer still on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
Step 6: Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Roll each into a ball. Then, gently press to slightly flatten the cookies.
Step 7: Bake for 7-8 minutes. They may look slightly doughy, and that is okay.
Step 8: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, add ½ cup of raisins or chocolate chips to the dough with the dry ingredients. Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother, more consistent dough.
