MAKES ABOUT 15
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1¼ cups old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until mixture begins to bubble around edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined. Add egg and vanilla and stir until combined. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1½-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop batter and place 3½ inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Using a small of set spatula or the back of a spoon, flatten each scoop until about 2 inches wide.
- Bake until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven, and working quickly, use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to pull in sides of cookies to make a perfect circle. Let cool completely on pans. Remove from pans and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
