Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix dry into wet: Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips: Incorporate the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop and bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges begin to brown slightly.
- Cool and savor: Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut oil for butter. You can also customize by adding nuts or dried fruit.
