Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups add-ins of your choice (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit)
  • Maldon salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then mix in the brown sugar until combined.
  3. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. Whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and kosher salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until well blended.
  6. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in your selected add-ins until evenly distributed.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Sprinkle Maldon salt on top of the cookies right after they come out of the oven if desired.
  11. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your butter is just melted, not bubbling. Chilling the mixture helps create a chewier texture.
