Equipment
- Kitchen Scale (optional)
- 2 Baking Sheet(s)
- Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter room temperature (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1½ cups old fashioned oats *
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips **
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute.½ cup salted butter, 1 cup brown sugar
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Add in the oats, flour, and baking soda. Mix on low speed, just until combined. You don’t want to overmix!1½ cups old fashioned oats, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips/chunks. I don’t recommend using the mixer attachment for this part as it can break up the chocolate too much.1 cup chocolate chips
- Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized scoops and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges and just starting to turn golden brown on the bottom. The cookies will be soft but they will harden as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
*Old fashioned oats provide the chewiest, most classic oatmeal cookie texture. Quick oats will also work, but your cookies won't be as chewy.
**You can use chocolate chunks or chips, and the chocolate of your choice. I use semisweet, but dark or milk chocolate is also tasty.
Tips:
- Take care not to overmix the dough, or else the cookies will turn out flat.
- Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Careful not to leave them in there too long, or they'll harden and possibly burn.
