Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup Unsalted butter softened ( About 225 g)
- 1 cup Light brown sugar (Packed)
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs (At room temperature)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour (Sifted)
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Mix-Ins:
- 1 1/2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup (Chopped walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and walnuts, if using).
Scoop & Bake:
- Drop rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft, which is perfect for a chewy texture.
Cool & Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Feel free to customize by adding raisins, cranberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra twist.
Enjoy your Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies—a truly simply sweet sensation that’s perfect for any occasion!
