Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring them together until evenly mixed.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well to combine.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms and ingredients are fully combined.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them and to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft for a chewy texture.
- Cool Cookies: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake them and allow residual heat to finish cooking after removing from the oven.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- To add texture, consider mixing in 1/2 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
