Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs until well blended.
  • 2
    On low speed, beat in all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour and baking powder, scraping bowl occasionally, until well combined. Stir in oats.
  • 3
    On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies to about 1/2-inch thickness.
  • 4
    Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

  • Make sure to pack your brown sugar while measuring to ensure you have enough. Use the back of a spoon to easily pack into your measuring cup.
  • These soft and chewy brown sugar oatmeal cookies work great for making ice cream sandwiches! To make sandwiches to store in the freezer, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies and wrap your sandwiches individually with plastic wrap. Place in a resealable freezer bag and freeze until needed.
  • If you haven’t used your brown sugar in a while and it’s a little hard, don’t throw it out. Just seal it in a plastic bag with an apple wedge for a day or two to soften, then throw away the apple.
  • While all-purpose flour is fine to keep sealed in a pantry, keep your whole wheat flour in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it at its best.
  • We love letting brown sugar shine in our cookies! Try this recipe for Nutty Brown Sugar Cookies or this recipe for Brown Sugar-Pecan Pinwheel Cookies for more delicious cookies with brown sugar sweetness.
