Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (plus 2 tablespoons of additional flour)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Spread or Cookie Butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this mixture aside to combine the flavors.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature butter, Biscoff spread or cookie butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and continue beating until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Reduce the mixer speed to low, then gradually add the dry ingredient mixture. Beat only until the dough is blended and no flour pockets remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This chilling step helps the dough firm up, making the cookies easier to shape and preventing excessive spreading while baking.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form rounded tablespoons of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden and just firm around the edges but still soft in the center. Baking time can vary slightly based on your oven.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after removing from the oven. Then transfer them with a spatula to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps the cookies set for perfect texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to ensure better creaming with the sugars.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients to keep the cookies tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze unbaked cookie dough for up to 1 month; bake straight from frozen with an extra minute or two of baking time.
