Equipment
- large mixing bowl
- medium bowl
- electric hand mixer
- stand mixer
- whisk
- rubber spatula
- medium cookie scoop
- baking sheets
- parchment paper
- silicone baking mats
- wire rack
- oven
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until it is light, fluffy, and well-combined.
- Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed for another minute, just until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture looks smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then sprinkle in the oats. Mix on low speed just until no dry streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, portion the dough into balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden brown but the centers still look soft.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool directly on the sheets for 5 minutes to finish setting. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The cookies will be soft and chewy once cooled.
