Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Description
The Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies bring together butter, brown and white sugars, eggs, vanilla, flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and chocolate chips into a dough chilled before baking. This step firms the dough, which helps control spread and texture.
During baking at 375°F, the cookies develop lightly crisp edges while maintaining a soft, chewy center with chocolate melting into the warm dough. The oats add a slight chew and subtle texture contrast, while cinnamon adds gentle warmth to the flavor.
These cookies are well suited for a sweet snack or dessert, enjoyed fresh or stored for a few days. Adding a tablespoon or two of milk during mixing can rescue crumbly dough to achieve the right consistency.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
- milk if dough is crumbly, optional 1-2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well until combined, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon with the mixer on medium speed. Beat in oats. Mix until dough comes together. Add in 1 tablespoon milk if the dough is crumbly. If dough is still crumbly, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove dough from fridge and roll into big 1 1/2 inch balls. Set on a baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down on dough to flatten it. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes.
