Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cookie butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined, using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a slightly uniform shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure you measure your ingredients accurately, especially the cookie butter, as it can vary in density. A kitchen scale can help for precise measurements.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, consider chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and results in a chewier texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats not only prevents sticking but also promotes even baking.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for that golden edge and slightly soft center to avoid overbaking.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies! Add nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months and bake fresh cookies whenever you crave them!
