Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure easy cleanup and even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, creating a creamy base that will contribute to a tender cookie crumb.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, combining thoroughly to help bind ingredients and add deep sweetness and aroma to the dough.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning within the flour.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and maintaining a tender bite.
  6. Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in rolled oats and chocolate chips, making sure every cookie will have a generous amount of chewy oats and gooey chocolate.
  7. Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them well to allow spreading, then bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This step helps them set to the perfect chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to cream easily and trap air for fluffier cookies.
  • Stir dough just until ingredients combine for a tender bite without toughness.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading and concentrate flavors.
  • Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for the best chew and texture.
  • Remove cookies as soon as edges start to brown to keep them soft and chewy.
