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

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Soften butter to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and light. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
  4. Add Oats and Chocolate Chips: Fold rolled oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed, ensuring every cookie has chewy oats and pockets of melted chocolate.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, setting the perfect chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure seamless blending and consistent dough texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies; fold ingredients gently.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes to improve texture and prevent excessive spreading.
  • Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense cookies.
  • Watch bake time carefully; slightly underbaking yields softer, chewier cookies.
