Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s get everything prepped! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always find the smell of the oven warming up so comforting. While that’s happening, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Give it a quick whisk to ensure everything’s well mixed. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes, and the resulting texture will be so inviting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
