Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until just blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips gently to avoid overmixing.
- Drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is still soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. Feel free to add nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor.
