- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, beat sugar and butter until well blended. |
| 3 | Add flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture, beating until combined. |
| 4 | Stir in the old-fashioned oats until evenly distributed. |
| 5 | Form the dough into a ball and cover it. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 1 hour to firm it up. |
| 6 | Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. |
| 7 | Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls between your palms, making them about one inch in diameter. You should get around 24 balls. |
| 8 | Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart as the cookies will spread during baking. |
| 9 | Using the bottom of a drinking glass, flatten each dough ball to form 1 1/2-inch rounds. |
| 10 | Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, approximately 12 – 13 minutes. Remember to turn the cookie sheet once midway through baking for even browning. |
| 11 | Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 1 minute after removing them from the oven. |
| 12 | Using a spatula, carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving. |
