Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add the egg and beat until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   With a spoon, drop 45 ml (3 tablespoons) of dough per cookie onto the baking sheets, leaving 5-cm (2-inch) between each. With a floured glass bottom, lightly flatten the cookies.

5. 5

   Bake for about 14 minutes, until cookies have a golden brown underside. Cool on the sheet then transfer to a cooling rack. Bake the remaining dough the same way.
