Oat Bran Oatmeal Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat bran, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

6. Fold in the old-fashioned oats and the raisins or chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

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