Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Measure all ingredients carefully to ensure consistent results.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a tender texture for your cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to your wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  5. Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the oats and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix so your cookies stay tender and chewy.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set perfectly without becoming dry.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and reduce spreading.
  • Use old-fashioned oats for better texture over instant oats.
  • Do not overbake; remove cookies while centers are still soft to keep them chewy.
  • Use room temperature butter for easier creaming and even mixing.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips for richer taste and better melting.
