Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies

By srumbel

Anyway, it turns out that brown sugar—not the oats—is really the star of the show (hence this recipe’s title) and the result is a dark, magical cookie that’s as good at room temperature as it is warm straight out of the oven.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

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

Mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add it in 2 to 3 batches, mixing it until just combined. Mix in the oats until just combined.

Use a teaspoon scoop (or a regular spoon) to drop portions of dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until dark and chewy. If you'd like a crispier cookie, just cook a little longer!

Let cool slight on the pan after removing from the oven, then transfer the cookies onto a plate for serving.

* Note: Add 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts to the flour mixture if you'd like a nutty flavor and crunch.
