Chunky Oatmeal Nut Cookies
Soft inside, lightly crispy outside—just like the cookies in the photo.
🛒 Ingredients
170 g butter, softened
150 g sugar (white or light brown)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
190 g all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
120 g rolled oats
80–100 g chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Optional: 60 g chocolate chips or raisins
👩🍳 Instructions
Cream butter & sugar
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, mix well.
Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine
Add dry ingredients to wet mixture.
Fold in oats, nuts, and optional chocolate or raisins.
Shape
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking tray.
Slightly flatten (they stay chunky).
Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
🔥 Tips
For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake.
For crispier edges, bake 1–2 minutes longer.
Resting the dough 30 minutes in the fridge makes them thicker.
