Henry and Maudie's Soft-Baked Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sifted whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius, depending on your location.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking surfaces by greasing them with a suitable cooking spray.
3
To begin mixing, combine 2 main ingredients - flour, baking soda, and salt - in a medium-sized bowl. Set the mixture aside for later use.
4
In a separate, larger bowl, combine 2 more ingredients - brown sugar and butter - using an electric mixer until they reach a light, fluffy consistency. Introduce the egg, water, and vanilla extract into the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
5
Mix in the previously set aside ingredients - flour, baking soda, and salt - to create a uniform blend. Then, incorporate the oats into the mixture.
6
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking surfaces, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
7
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the cookies are lightly browned and the edges have set, typically taking 12 to 15 minutes.
8
Once done, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely and harden.
