How to Make Dandy-Do Cookies
1. Cream the Butter and Sugars
Beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. This step helps create that perfect soft-chewy texture.
2. Add the Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. The dough should be smooth and creamy.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Bring It All Together
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Fold in the oats last, along with any optional add-ins you like.
5. Scoop and Bake
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a greased or lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft.
6. Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. They firm up as they cool, becoming perfectly chewy.
