Ingredients
1/2 cup butter1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar1/3 cup brown sugar, light or dark, packed1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 large egg3/4 cup King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour or Traditional Whole Wheat Flour3/4 cup quick rolled oats, ground in a food processor or blender if desired2 tablespoons orange juice, optional*2 cups chips, nuts, and/or dried fruit, optional*Use the optional orange juice if you're adding chips, nuts, fruit, etc. Don't add the orange juice if you're not using any add-ins.* I also use splenda instead of the sugar
1) Beat together the butter, sugars, salt, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla till well combined.
2) Add the egg, beating till smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl, and beat again till smooth.
3) Add the flour and oats, beating to combine.
4) If you're making cookies using chips, nuts, etc., beat in the orange juice, then the add-ins.
) If you're making plain cookies, without add-ins, omit the orange juice.
6) Cover the cookie dough, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled; at least several hours, or overnight.
7) When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
8) Drop the cookies by the traditional teaspoonful (about 2 measuring teaspoons, about a 1" ball) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2" apart. A teaspoon cookie scoop works well here.
9) If the cookie dough has been refrigerated, bake the cookies for 13 to 14 to 14 minutes, until they're a very light golden brown, and a bit darker around the edges. For unrefrigerated dough, bake for about 11 minutes.
10) Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the baking sheets.
I don't refrigerate and just make the dough and bake the cookies, so that works well too.
