Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet large
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 c butter (salted) melted
  • 1 c rolled oats
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 c all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add oats to the melted butter. Stir to combine, and let soak for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • To the butter and oats mixture, add the sugar and stir to combine. Sift the flour and baking powder together, and add to the ingredients.
  • Add eggs. Stir all ingredients together with a spoon.
  • Make approximately 1" balls of cookie dough and place them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, allowing for several inches of space between the cookie dough balls. Flatten the dough balls with a fork.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet (until they hold their shape) before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • To store, place the cookies in stacks in a food storage container or tin.
  • Enjoy!
