Soft Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The Soft Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies bring together the chewiness of old-fashioned rolled oats and the richness of chocolate chips in a soft-textured cookie. The recipe starts with melting butter, which helps achieve a tender crumb, mixed with white and brown sugars for balanced sweetness and moisture. Incorporating an egg and vanilla adds depth of flavor and structure to the dough. The dry ingredients, including flour, baking soda, and salt, are gently combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Once formed into flattened scoops and topped with a few more chocolate chips, the cookies are baked at 350°F just until they appear puffy and pale, a sign that softness is preserved rather than a crunchy cookie. Cooling briefly on the pan before transferring them allows them to set while maintaining tenderness. These cookies offer a soft chew with bursts of chocolate throughout, suitable for a comforting treat any time.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350F
- Slice the butter into chunks and microwave for about 3-40 seconds until it's mostly melted.
- Beat in the two sugars until light and fluffy, and then blend in the egg and vanilla.
- Stir in the dry ingredients,
- When the dry ingredients are almost incorporated, go ahead and add the chocolate chips, and continue to mix just until everything is nicely incorporated.
- I use a 1 7/8 cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, and then flatten slightly just slightly with my fingers. I like to add a couple of extra chocolate chips to the surface of the dough before I bake them.
- Place on an un-greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look puffy and pale, but that's what you want for a soft textured cookie.
- Let cool on the pan briefly and then move to a rack.
