Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Beat in granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until just combined. Stir in flour mixture and oats just until combined.
2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are light brown and centers are set. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
