Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 14 minutes
Additional Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 29 minutes
Servings: 40 cookies
Course: cookies
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • coarse salt for garnish

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the oats. Set aside.
  2. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  3. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  6. Drop the dough by 2-tablespoon portions (I use a #30 scoop) onto the prepared pans. Slightly flatten the top of each cookie. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a pinch of coarse salt.
  7. Bake, one pan at a time, 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are browned.
  8. Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to continue cooling.
