  • Total Time: 25-27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for GF version)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture is fluffy and light in color—this usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes and is key for soft cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating them fully before adding the vanilla extract. This adds moisture and flavor, creating the perfect dough consistency.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Then slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the rolled oats into the dough, followed by the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout for fruity chocolatey pockets.
  6. Portion and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly browned but the center is still soft to the touch.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This resting time lets them firm up just enough while staying delightfully chewy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for even mixing and creamy dough texture.
  • Don’t overmix once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes prior to baking if you prefer thicker cookies.
  • Bake one tray at a time to ensure even heat distribution.
  • Remove cookies when edges are set but centers appear slightly underbaked; they firm up as they cool.
