Brown SUgar Oatmeal Cookies (Pioneer Woman)

By Pshirley

Ingredients

• ■1 cup Salted Butter, Softened
• ■2 cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar
• ■2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• ■2 whole Eggs
• ■1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
• ■1 teaspoon Salt
• ■1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• ■3 cups Old Fashioned Oats

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

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 the bowl after each one.

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

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

Let them 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.
