Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the oats and flour, then set aside.

Step 3

In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Step 6

Add the oats and flour to the saucepan and mix until well combined.

Step 7

Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to thicken.

Step 8

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) to drop the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet. Leave at least 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake for 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye on them. The cookies should be a light golden brown.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack using a spatula to cool completely.
