Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Cookie scoop or ice cream scoop
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cooling rack
Materials
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned or quick oats)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, then set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
- Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Press the tops gently with a spatula and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use softened butter for the best chewy texture.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding the flour.
- For bakery-style cookies, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops before baking.
- The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
