How to make a Giant Oatmeal Cookie!
Start by softening/melting your butter. Mix in your brown sugar, white sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. If you have dark brown sugar, use it. It adds a deeper caramelly warmth to this cookie. Sprinkle your dry ingredients right in on top of the wet ingredients and mix together.
Add your mix-ins
Add your oats and your chocolate chips OR raisins if you choose to do that and stir everything together. Form your dough into a ball and then press it lightly down on your prepared baking sheet. You’ll want it about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick. Bake as you would a normal cookie, watching for those edges to turn golden brown and the soft to puff and set, but not be browned. You want to under bake the center just a bit in order for it to stay soft and chewy after it’s cooled! This is one of our favorite cookies. Perfect with a tall glass of milk (or as someone shared in their photo this week, a giant bowl of milk haha!)
