Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies blend rolled oats and all-purpose flour with bits of semi-sweet chocolate, accented by cinnamon and kosher salt. The browned butter adds nuttiness, enriching the dough's complexity. Light brown and granulated sugars mix for sweetness and texture, and eggs give structure and moisture. Baking these at 375 degrees on parchment ensures even cooking and a pleasant crunch on the edges.
They have a chewy consistency softened by the oats and a slightly crisp exterior from the browned butter and baking method. The cinnamon subtly complements the chocolate without overpowering, and flaky salt on top adds contrast to the sweetness. These cookies are suitable as an everyday snack or to pair alongside coffee or tea for a comforting break.
The baking step involves careful browning of the butter to extract its nutty aroma, then mixing immediately with sugars and eggs to keep the dough silky. The inclusion of both brown and white sugars balances moisture and crispness. Using a medium cookie scoop helps form uniform dough mounds that bake evenly. The recipe notes no special storage or serving suggestions, focusing on the preparation and baking method.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large egg plus 1 large yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt for sprinkling, flaky
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, chopped chocolate, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt, and set it aside.
- Brown the butter by heating a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the butter to the pan and once it’s melted, it will begin to foam up and bubble a bit. Allow it to cook until you begin to see lightly browned specks beginning to form. Give it a stir and cook until it’s browned. You should also start to smell its nutty aroma. Remove it from the pan and continue to stir to cool it down.
- In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter, oil, brown sugar, and sugar together until well combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whisk until the mixture is silky looking and lighter in color. Pour in the flour mixture all at once and mix until cohesive, about 1 minute.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough. You should be able to scoop out 20 balls in total. Evenly space half the balls on one sheet and then the other half on the other. Using wet hands, roll the balls and then gently flatten them.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are soft but not moist looking. Sprinkle with flaky salt immediately after baking. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. If you want perfectly round cookies, use a biscuit cutter or something similar that is a little wider than your cookie to scoot them into shape at the 9-minute mark. To scoot, simply move the cutter around the cookie to nudge any areas back into the circular shape.
