- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
