Pioneer Woman’s Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies Recipe is perfect for cozy days at home. These cookies are soft, chewy and full of warm flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Oven Temperature: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before baking.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
- Add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar to a large bowl. Beat them together until the mixture looks light and fluffy. This step helps create soft cookies.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add one egg at a time to the bowl. Mix well after each egg. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until everything looks smooth.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until everything is mixed well and even.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
Add the Oats
- Add the rolled oats to the dough. Stir slowly until the oats are spread evenly throughout the mixture.
Shape the Cookies
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie so they can spread.
Bake the Cookies
- Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look lightly golden.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove cookies from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Move them to a rack to cool fully.
Notes
- Use soft butter for easy mixing.
- Do not overbake the cookies. They soften as they cool.
- Use old-fashioned oats for better texture.
- Chill the dough if it feels too sticky.
- Measure flour correctly for soft cookies.
