How To Make These Oatmeal Cookies
This is another fairly straightforward cookie recipe.
Crank the oven to 350 degrees F. and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Add the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt to a small mixing bowl. Stir or whisk to combine and set aside.
Cream the butter with the light brown and white sugar in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer.
An egg, a splash of milk and vanilla bean paste are added to the sugar mixture. The mix is beaten on low until the all are fully incorporated.
The oat mixture is added to the sugar mixture and folded in with a large spatula or wooden spoon.
The cookie batter is dropped onto the prepared cookie sheets with an ace cream or cookie scoop, or by small handfuls, about a 1/2 –cup in size.
The cookies bake for a full 15 minutes. This gives them time to spread and get crispy along the edges. They will continue to cook after they are removed from the oven.
Cookies are cooled on the cookie sheets for a few minutes and then removed to cool completely.
These cookies are excellent warm.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for days.
