Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 50 grams Chopped almonds or hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
