Ingredients

  • 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tick (113g) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (105g) light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/4 cups (210g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high until smooth (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and beat on high for 1 minute scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and hand mix until combined, then slowly add to the butter mixture while mixing on low speed until combined.
  4. Fold in the oats and chocolate chips and mix just until combined. Cover the dough and chill for 45 minutes before using.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350f and set the rack to the middle level and line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking pads.
  6. Use a medium cookie scoop and drop approximately 2 tablespoons or 37g worth of dough onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheets 3 inches apart and slightly flatten with a spoon or your hand.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown, then allow to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • A 2-tablespoon ball from a medium size cookie scoop (either #30 or #40) will make a ~37g dough ball or approximately 24 medium-sized cookies.
  • Baking time will change slightly based on the size, but cook until the sides just start to turn golden brown.
  • This recipe was written for a conventional oven.  For convection ovens, reduce the temperature by 25 degrees and begin checking for doneness at the 75% mark.
