Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

  • 160 grams oats

  • 1.5 grams baking powder (0.25 tsp)

  • 3 grams cinnamon (0.5 tsp)

  • Pinch salt

  • 100 grams butter

  • 60 grams brown sugar

  • 35 grams white sugar

  • 25 grams egg (half an egg)

  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Method

TOASTED OAT FLOUR MIX

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or preferable, a re-usable silicone mat. Spread the 160 grams of oats out on the baking sheet. Toast at 375 F for 20 minutes - should be nice and fragrant! Let cool at least 3 minutes.
  • Split your toasted oats into two parts - 30 grams which we we'll leave whole, and the rest which we'll process into flour.
  • Grab your food processor, set it up to grind down some oats into flour. Toss the remaining toasted oats in, and process for about 3 minutes, until you get a coarse flour texture.
  • Add the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the food processor. Pulse to combine.
  • Note: Leave the oven preheated at 375 F. You'll bake the cookies at this temperature too! COOKIE DOUGH
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fully combined and creamy smooth. This takes a little longer than you might think.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, stir to combine.
  • Add the ground oat mixture in two parts. Both times, stir just until combined.
  • Add the 30 grams of toasted oats you set aside early, and stir just until combined. SHAPING & BAKING
  • Scoop the dough in big, coherent spoonfuls onto baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches between each spoonful of dough. Roughly flatten it to get a decent shape, but don't worry, they should spread out and end up pretty circular regardless.
  • Bake at 375 F until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. What works best in my oven: bake 6 minutes, flip the baking sheet, bake for another 6 minutes. Let cool on the tray for about 2 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely, for a crispy finish.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Tried once, I love these. Like a cookie version of Hudson's Bay Bread.
  • Based on Alton Brown's "The Oat-iest Oatmeal Cookies Ever" from Season 14 of Good Eats
  • Used one of my bigger spoons to spoon out the dough. Didn't measure grams per cookie, that would've been nice. Maybe I should get one of those cookie scoopers? I love cookies. Gotta find some more nuts-and-seeds-and-dried-fruit recipes though if I'm gonna lean into the cookie lifestyle.
  • Yields about 12 cookies, 328 grams total
