Ingredients

1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

¾ cup all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1¼ sticks unsalted butter, softened

⅓ cup packed light brown sugar

⅓ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

½ teaspoon vanilla

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Stir together oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a stand mixer or in large bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined well. Add flour mixture and beat until just combined.

Drop dough by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets and flatten mounds slightly with moistened fingers. Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, about 12 minutes total. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
