Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for cream filling)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream filling)
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or decorative toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add eggs and extracts: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until combined.
- Combine each mixture: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Incorporate oats: Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, ensuring ample space between each.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set but slightly soft.
- Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan butter and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs. Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven’s temperature variance.
