Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (40g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 5 packets apple & cinnamon instant oatmeal (Note 1)
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups add-ins (like M&Ms, chocolate chips, nuts)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • In a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, place the butter and both sugars. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract and mix another minute or so.
  • Add instant oatmeal, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just incorporated.
  • Stir in the add-ins of your choice. I used 1 cup of M&Ms and ½ cup of chopped pecans here.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon of dough), shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place 8 cookies per baking sheet. Flatten the cookies slightly.
  • Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, or until the edges are set, one sheet at a time. The cookies will look a bit under-baked, but they’ll set nicely once cooled.
  • Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store in airtight container for up to 5 days.
