Danish Oatmeal Cookies
120kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Equipment
- hand mixer
- oven
- baking sheet
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly crumbly.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
