Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, sugar, softened cream cheese, and butter. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, cohesive dough forms with a rich, creamy texture that incorporates the oats evenly.
  2. Scoop the dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading during baking.
  3. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft and gooey. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the gooey texture; cookies will firm up slightly as they cool.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
