Instructions:
Prepare Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside an ungreased cookie sheet.
Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, Pioneer White Granulated Sugar, and Pioneer Brown Sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add egg and vanilla extract, then beat well until smooth and creamy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Add flour, baking soda, salt, and oatmeal to the bowl. Mix until everything is fully combined into a thick cookie dough.
Shape Cookies: Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Cool & Serve: Let cookies cool on the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a flat surface or wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store for later snacking.
Cook’s Note:
For extra chewy oatmeal cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish setting on the baking sheet. You can also stir in chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
This recipe uses sugar to:
Enhance Flavor: Adds balanced sweetness and complements the nutty flavor of the oats.
Aid Browning: Helps create golden cookie edges with a lightly caramelized finish.
Improve Texture: Keeps the cookies soft and chewy while adding moisture to the dough.
