Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8″x8″ glass pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars for 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract for another minute.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger. Stir flour mixture, along with oats, into the wet ingredients.
