Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans work well)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula.
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the scoop.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
- Enjoy these cookies as a snack, breakfast, or dessert, paired with milk or tea.
Notes
- For a healthier twist, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruits.
