Total Time: 28 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Add brown sugar and stir until well combined and slightly dissolved.
- Remove from heat and mix in rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Drop small teaspoon-sized portions of batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2-3 inches between each cookie. The batter will spread significantly during baking.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look lacy and slightly translucent.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For chocolate dipping, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Once cookies are completely cool, dip half of each cookie into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped cookies on parchment paper and allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the most consistent batter.
- Space cookies generously on the baking sheet, as they will spread significantly.
- Watch cookies carefully while baking - they can quickly go from perfectly golden to burnt.
- Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For a smooth chocolate dip, ensure chocolate is melted at a low temperature and stir frequently.
- If chocolate begins to harden during dipping, gently reheat in microwave.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cookie removal and cleanup.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the cookies' delicate crisp texture.
