½cupof flour
½tspfine sea salt
⅛tspbaking soda
1tspcinnamon
6tbspunsalted buttersoftened
⅓cupof brown sugar
¼cupof white sugar
2tbspreal maple syrup
1small egg
½tspvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Combine the oats, flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on high until pale and fluffy.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat, scraping the side of the bowl as needed.
Add the oat mixture and stir until just combined. Side Note: My dough was quite sticky so I put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes so it was easier to work with.
Drop dough by the teaspoon, 2 inches apart, onto the lined baking sheet.
Bake until the edges are golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until set, then move them to a wire rack to cool.
