Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Spoon or cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries diced
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Scoop and Bake:
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
