Salted Caramel Oatmeal Cookies
There's something heartwarming about the smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through the kitchen, reminding us of cozy family gatherings and sweet moments shared. These Salted Caramel Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect blend of chewy oats and rich caramel, bringing a taste of home to every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup caramel bits or chopped soft caramel candies
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the oats and caramel bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delightful cookies with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee, and savor the sweet memories they bring!
