Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them spread evenly during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look set.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for the best creaming results and smoother cookie dough.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular softened butter.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most decadent flavor.
- For a crispier cookie, flatten the dough balls more; for a chewier texture, keep them slightly thicker.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture.
