Cookies are always a comfort item for me, these brown sugar oatmeal cookies are added to my list of all time favorite cookie list.
because these cookies use melted butter the prep time is less than if you had to wait for butter to soften. Also using only brown sugar as the sweetening agent in these cookies you end up with a deliciously rich molasse flavor that cant be beat.
Ingredients you will need to make brown sugar oatmeal cookies
- Butter
- Brown sugar – the darked brown sugar you use the richer the molasses flavor will be.
- Almond extract- you can use vanilla if that is all you have, I suggest adding 2 tsp instead if you choose to go that way.
- Eggs
- Flour
- Salt- using table salt is ok, however I like to use kosher salt so I can taste the little buts in the cookie
- Baking soda
- Rolled oats
- (optional) chopped nuts or chocolate chips
