Oatmeal Caramel Cookies

Instructions

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

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

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

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.

5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

6. Gently fold in the caramel chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

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

9. 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.

10. Once cooled, grab a cookie, pour yourself a glass of milk, and indulge in the sweet and chewy goodness of these Oatmeal Caramel Cookies.
