Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

  • 1 1/2 cup oats

  • 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1

    Microwave butter in 30-second intervals until it is melted.

  2. 2

    Add brown and white sugar into the bowl and use a hand mixer to beat it together until all of the butter is absorbed by the sugar.

  3. 3

    Add egg and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl and beat again.

  4. 4

    Pour in the flour, salt, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar to the bowl. Mix until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed.

  5. 5

    Use a rubber spatula to fold in the oats - do not use a hand mixer here as you can ‘burn’ the oats and the cookies will spread.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Use a cookie scooper to scoop the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the outsides of the cookie turn golden brown.

  9. 9

    Remove from the oven and place onto a wire rack (or slide the parchment paper off of the baking tray with the cookies and let them cool off the pan).
