Deliciously soft and chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies that combine the hearty texture of rolled oats with sweet semisweet chocolate chips. Perfectly balanced with brown sugar for a rich flavor and baked to golden perfection, these cookies are a timeless treat sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (3g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (5g)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature, 113g)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (65g)
  • 2/3 cup light-brown sugar (140g, packed)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract (10mL)
  • 1 large egg

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (150g)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda; set aside for later use.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, combine the room temperature unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar; beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, enhancing the texture of the cookies.
  3. Add Flavorings and Egg: Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add salt, pure vanilla extract, and the large egg. Beat the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, approximately one minute.
  4. Incorporate Flour Mixture: Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the wet ingredients; mix until almost combined to prevent overmixing.
  5. Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the rolled oats and semisweet chocolate chips by hand to ensure an even distribution; then chill the dough for at least one hour or overnight for the best texture and flavor development.
  6. Preheat Oven: Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking.
  7. Shape Cookies: Using a small ice cream scooper or two tablespoons, scoop heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden while the centers still remain soft.
  9. Cool Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set properly without becoming hard.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough overnight improves flavor and texture, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets for easy cookie removal and clean-up.
  • The size of the cookie dough balls affects baking time; larger scoops may require additional minutes.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
