  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 each egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk if dough is crumbly

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Method
  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars - In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined, ensuring everything is smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
  5. Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. If the dough seems crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Step 7: Scoop and Bake - Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy these Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies warm, or store them for later!
