Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are not only delicious but also a little bit more virtuous with the oats. Let’s just say they offer the perfect balance of ‘health’ and ‘deliciousness’—a union made in cookie heaven!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to get that heat going—which is exactly what we need for those cookies!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is the time for you to unleash all your cookie-making energy!
- Add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Toss in the vanilla extract for extra yumminess.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Then, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until they seem to be getting along. No lumps allowed!
- Now, it’s time for the star of the show—stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until they’re evenly dispersed. Make sure those chocolate chips are peeking out so they can show off!
- Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each for spreading. They can be a little greedy when they bake!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remember: Soft cookies are good cookies, so don’t overbake them or you’ll be making crunchies instead!
- Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Try to resist the urge to gobble them all up at once!
And there you have it! Your very own batch of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies is ready to be devoured. Enjoy every bite and remember to share—if you can!
