Transform classic oatmeal cookies with nutrient-rich Big Deal Oatmeal, featuring nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Brown butter adds rich, caramel notes to these cookies - specially balanced for both health and happiness. Perfect for both traditional and gluten-free baking.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups Big Deal Oatmeal 
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for browning)
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar (5¼ oz)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (3½ oz)
• ½ cup vegetable or light tasting olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose or gluten-free flour (5 oz) We use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp Caroline Schiff Speculoos Blend from Spicewalla (optional)

Easy Oatmeal Cookie Instructions:

1. Brown butter over medium-high heat until bubbles give way to golden/darker brown fragrant bits. Remove from heat. Cool completely.
2. Combine wet ingredients: Whisk eggs, oil, sugars, vanilla, and cooled brown butter.
3. Mix dry ingredients separately: Whisk flour, salt, baking soda & speculoos spice (optional)
4. Make cookie dough: Mix wet and dry ingredients, fold in superfood oatmeal blend until well combined
5. Form and bake: Shape 2 oz. dough portions into flat disks, bake at 375°F for 10-13 minutes until bottoms are baked crisp. This is best achieved by baking one tray at at time. 

Expert Tips for Perfect Oatmeal Cookies:

• Use wet hands to shape sticky dough
• Bake one sheet at a time
• Rotate pan halfway through baking
• Optional: Upon removal from oven, gently drop hot pan onto towel lined countertop for flatter cookies
• Store with bread slice or tortilla for soft, chewy texture
