Crisp Oatmeal Cookies

Crisp Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

With the added texture of chopped walnuts, these crispy oatmeal cookies are a match made in heaven, perfect for snacking on the go or sharing with friends.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to make cookie removal a breeze.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

Stir in the chopped walnuts.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Repeat the baking process until all the dough is used up, which should yield around 4 dozen cookies.

Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

Use old-fashioned oats for a nuttier flavor and chewier texture.

If you prefer a crisper cookie, use quick-cooking oats instead.

Walnuts can be substituted with any other nut of your choice.

For a darker cookie, bake for 12-14 minutes.

If you want a lighter cookie, bake for 8-10 minutes.

Make sure to store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

You can also freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature when ready.

If you’re planning to gift these cookies, wrap them in cellophane bags or decorative tins for a nice presentation.

You can also customize the cookies with a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for added flavor.
