Classic Oatmeal Cookies with Old Fashioned Oats

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.

Step 2

Add the oats to a food processor and pulse until they're partially ground - not to the point of a powder, you want some texture. Pour into a large bowl.

Step 3

To the ground oats, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and mix. Set aside.

Step 4

To another large bowl, microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, add the sugar and brown sugar and whisk together. Let cool slightly.

Step 5

One at a time, add in the eggs, mixing well between each addition.

Step 6

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.

Step 7

Use a small cookie scoop to drop 9 dough balls (approximately 2 teaspoons each) onto the prepared cookie sheets. They will spread so do not overcrowd them.

Step 8

Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
