Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Mix together the flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add it into the creamed mixture in 2 to 3 batches, mixing until just combined.


In the bowl of an electric mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat together the
brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl after each one.

Mix in the oats until just combined.


Use your preferred size cookie scoop (or a regular spoon) to drop portions
of dough onto baking sheets, spacing them a couple inches apart. Bake
until dark and chewy, 12 to 13 minutes. If you’d like a crispier cookie, just cook a little longer!


Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer onto a plate for serving.
