Six chewy oatmeal cookies with brown sugar and cinnamon, made with one egg yolk.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Stir the melted butter and both sugars together. Stir in the egg yolk (just the yolk, not the whole egg) and the vanilla.
  • In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir it into the butter mixture, then stir in the oats.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned but the middles are still soft.
  • Let them sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes to firm up, then move them to a rack.
