Small Batch Oatmeal Cookies
These Small Batch Oatmeal Cookies are soft, chewy, and warmly spiced with cinnamon. Made in one bowl with simple pantry ingredients, this easy recipe makes 6 cookies, perfect for small households, quick cravings, or when you want freshly baked cookies without leftovers.
Equipment
- 1 Cookie Sheet
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
- Scoop the dough into 6 portions (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t overbake, cookies will firm up as they cool.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 10-15 minutes before baking.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop yields 6 cookies. A larger scoop will make about 4 cookies.
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best chewy texture (not quick oats).
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on top after baking for extra flavor.
