Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment recommended
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Wire cooling rack
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons (84 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup (133 g) brown sugar light or dark, packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (93.75 g) all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups (121.5 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (170 g) butterscotch chips
- flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium speed). Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Stir the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into the wet ingredients until combined. Fold in the oats and butterscotch chips.
- Scoop cookie dough onto a baking sheet (2-3 tablespoons each, about 2 inches apart).
- Bake just until the edges begin to tan (10-13 minutes). The centers should still look a bit gooey and underbaked when you take them out of the oven.
- Top with flaky sea salt (optional). Let the oatmeal cookies cool on the baking sheet until they're firm enough to transfer to a wire rack.
