Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Instant oatmeal packets (flavor of choice)
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Stir in the oatmeal packets. If desired, fold in optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. Avoid overbaking for a soft and chewy texture.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
