Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (135g) old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup (135g) dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the oats and dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
[‘Chilling the dough for 30 minutes enhances flavor and prevents spreading during baking.’, ‘Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.’, ‘Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for an elevated taste.’]
