Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix!
  6. Fold in the oats and chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft or sticky.’, ‘Don’t overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.’, ‘Let egg and butter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.’]
