Soft And Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies combine wholesome oats and melty chocolate chips for a comforting, nostalgic treat with a delightful texture that's simple enough for novice bakers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark, your choice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well-mixed before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving room between each cookie, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown, but the centers remain soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
