Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of extra texture and flavor, try adding a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can drizzle some melted chocolate over the top once they’ve cooled. For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also experiment with different types of oats, such as quick oats for a softer texture or steel-cut oats for a chewier bite. Remember, baking is an art as much as it is a science, so feel free to make these cookies your own.
