An impossibly thin, crispy cookie that's so simple to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar into a thick paste, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and stir in flour, vanilla, and salt. Let cool 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add egg and oats and mix with a fork until well combined.

  5. 5

    Spoon out onto prepared baking sheet in 1 tablespoon portions 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, spread each cookie into a thin circle so oats are in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Bake until edges begin to turn golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Once cool, cookies should peel easily from parchment. Enjoy!
