Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Ingredients (Makes about 24 cookies):
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream the butter and sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla:
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Add the oats and chocolate chips:
- Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Shape the cookies:
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as the cookies cool.
- Cool the cookies:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Perfect Cookies:
- Use room-temperature butter for easier creaming and better texture.
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and let them set on the hot baking sheet.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for extra warmth and flavor.
