Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add the softened butter and corn syrup to the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a mixer, blend the ingredients together until a dough forms.
-
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between the cookies as they will spread while baking.
-
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly and create a crisscross pattern.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
