Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter and 1/4 cup of packed light-brown sugar. Use a whisk or fork to mix them together until creamy. Add in the 1 tablespoon of whisked egg and stir until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of quick oats, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of raisins (or 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips) and 1 1/2 tablespoons of chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a round cookie about 1/2 inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the cookie from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a fruity twist, add chopped dried apricots in spring.
- Swap raisins for mini chocolate chips in summer for a decadent treat.
- Try adding chopped apples and a sprinkle of nutmeg in fall for seasonal flavor.
