Ingredients
  • 1 c butter, softened
  • 2 c dark brown sugar, packed
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 c flour
  • 1 t salt
  • ½ t baking soda
  • 3 c quick cooking 1 minute oats
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment.
  2. Cream the brown sugar and butter in a kitchen aid mixer (or use a hand-mixer if that’s all you have) until it turns lighter in color and is fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the vanilla and the eggs. Scraping the bowl as you go.
  4. Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add it to the creamed mixture in a couple batches, making sure to start beating on low.
  5. Mix in the oats just until combined.
  6. Drop by tablespoons (I use a roughly tablespooned size cookie scoop) onto a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake until dark brown. For a chewy cookie about 12 minutes. For a crisper cookie bake about 15-17 minutes.
  8. Cook for a minute or two on the pan and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Stir in a tightly covered container (unless you’re my dad, then slightly crack open the container lid when no one is looking so they get even crisper).
