Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 3/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1/2 cups Butter, Room Temperature
  • 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Cinnamon Chips

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Into a medium bowl, add the oats, flour, cinnamon, sea salt, and baking soda and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Increase to medium speed and mix until the mixture is very fluffy and no streaks of fat remain.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients and mix just until they are fully incorporated. Stir in the cinnamon chips. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place them about about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges just begin to brown. Remove from oven and let them cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Notes:
  • If you can't find cinnamon chips, you can use the same amount of any of the following: butterscotch chips (my favorite!), chocolate chips, white chips, dried cranberries, dried blueberries, dried cherries, walnuts, M&M's, raisins (not my favorite!), etc. Or add an additional 1/2 cup oats and leave out any addition add-ins.
