Oat Cookie
- 115 g butter, at room temperature 8 tablespoons (1 stick)
- 75 g light brown sugar 1/3 cup tightly packed
- 40 g granulated sugar 3 tablespoons
- 1 egg yolk
- 80 g flour 1/2 cup
- 120 g old-fashioned rolled oats 1 1/2 cups
- 0.5 g baking powder 1/8 teaspoon
- 0.25 g baking soda pinch
- 2 g kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon
- Pam or other nonstick cooking spray (optional)
- Heat the oven to 350F.
- Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- On low speed, add the egg yolk and increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sugar granules fully dissolve and the mixture is a pale white.
- On low speed, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix for a minute, until your dough comes together and any remnants of dry ingredients have been incorporated.
- The dough will be a slightly fluffy, fatty mixture in comparison to your average cookie dough.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Pam-spray a quarter sheet pan and line with parchment, or just line the pan with a Silpat.
- Plop the cookie dough in the center of the pan and, with a spatula, spread it out until it is 1/4 inch thick.
- The dough wont end up covering the entire pan; this is OK.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until it resembles an oatmeal cookiecaramelized on top and puffed slightly but set firmly.
- Cool completely before using.
- Wrapped well in plastic, the oat cookie will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 1 week.
