Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar packed down when measuring If you only have dark brown sugar then substitute with half regular sugar and half dark brown sugar.
  • 1 cup unsalted room temperature butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling the cookies in before baking
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Make sure to let your oven stay heated at this temperature for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl add your butter, brown sugar and mix well with a mixer until smooth and creamy
    1 cup unsalted room temperature butter, 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar packed down when measuring
  • Next, add your vanilla and your eggs and mix until it all comes together
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs
  • In a separate bowl, add your flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix it all together
    3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Add these dry ingredients to your bowl of wet ingredients and mix until it all comes together
  • Using a small ice cream scoop (or a heaping tablespoon) start to scoop out your dough and roll it into a ball.
  • Place sugar in a shallow bowl.
    ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • Take each ball of cookie dough and roll it in your granulated sugar then place on to a sheet pan leaving 1 inch of space around your cookies since they will spread.
  • Keep doing this until all of your dough is scooped and rolled into the sugar
  • Once you have done this, gently press down your cookie balls into a flat disc about ¼ inch thick with the back of a spatula or spoon.
  • Place your cookies in the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes until the cookies begin to brown a little on the sides and on the top.
  • Once they are cooked, remove from the oven and let them sit on the sheet pan for 10 minutes
  • After 10 minutes remove from the sheet pan to a cooling rack and let them cool for another 15 minutes before eating.
  • Enjoy
