Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch of nutmeg, optional
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, if using. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with the paddle attachment until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula if necessary. This should take 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat until combined and smooth.
- With the mixer off, add all of the dry ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and mix until just combined. Stir in the oats.
- Scoop the cookie dough into round balls, about 2 tablespoons per ball. Place on the lined baking sheets, about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers are still light golden and soft.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaked sea salt. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Oats: I don't recommend using quick oats because they don't have as much texture and absorb liquid differently. Quick oats will result in a drier cookie.
- Variations: Stir in up to 2 cups of any of the following. Chocolate Chips: You can add chocolate chips or chunks (semisweet, milk, or dark), butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips. Nuts or Toffee: For a crunch, add chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, or toffee bits. Dried fruit: For added sweetness, stir in raisins or dried cranberries. M&M's: Add M&M's for a pop of color! Coconut: Stir in coconut or toasted coconut.

- Storing: Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the cookie dough. Scoop the cookies into balls and place on a baking sheet or tray. Put in the freezer until the balls are firm. Transfer the balls to a freezer container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove from the oven and add a few minutes to the baking time.You can easily double this recipe for more cookies!
