Ingredients

- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

How to Make Oatmeal Cookie Sundae
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cool, place one cookie in a serving bowl, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and generously dollop with whipped cream.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Don’t overmix the dough; mix until just combined to keep the cookies soft.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet.
- Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate or salted caramel ice cream for a twist.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra texture.
- Top with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries instead of raspberries.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce instead of caramel for a different flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- A cup of coffee or tea for a warm beverage pairing.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A scoop of your favorite sorbet for a lighter option.
- Additional toppings like crushed cookies or sprinkles for added fun.
