Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 jar (makes about 24 cookies)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients from the jar: rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Add 1/2 cup (113g) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive cookie dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, stirring gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still 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
- Use room temperature butter and egg for smoother dough consistency
- Don't overmix the cookie dough to keep cookies tender
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes
- Allow cookies to cool completely to set their texture
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness
- For extra richness, consider using dark chocolate chips
- Customize by adding nuts or dried fruit to the mix
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking
- Check cookies a minute early to prevent over-browning
