These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are buttery, soft in the center, and filled with little bites of oats and melted chocolate. They are simple enough for everyday baking, but the oats give them a little extra texture that makes them especially good with a cold glass of milk or coffee
Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the Eggs: Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until completely incorporated.
Add the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture until a soft, workable dough forms.
Add the Oats and Chocolate: Gently fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape: Portion the dough into balls in your preferred size. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each one.
Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Cool: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
