Ingredients
- 3 packets instant oatmeal packets (any flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips or add-ins of your choice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant oatmeal packets, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using chocolate chips or other add-ins, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your chewy and flavorful oatmeal pack cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
