the best oatmeal cookie you'll ever have

Aunt Joan's Crispy Oatmeal Cookies
makes about 3 dozen

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 3/4 sticks (198g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp kosher salt
sea salt for finishing

METHOD:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) or 325F for convection. Prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.

4. On low speed stir in the dry ingredients until well-blended and smooth. Add oats, kosher salt and mix by hand.

5. Scoop dough in 1-2 tbsp portions onto baking sheets, evenly spacing them out at least 1.5” apart. Chill for 10-15 minutes.

6. After chilling, with your palm gently press each dough ball to 1/8-1/4" thickness.

7. Bake for 15-17 minutes until the cookies are set in the middle and the edges are brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt.

8. Let cookies cool in pan for 10 minutes before serving or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies will stay fresh in an air tight container up to 3-4 days.
