Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Author: A Touch of Grace

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla I always let the vanilla overflow a bit for some extra vanilla flavor
  • 2 1/3 cups oats
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or stand mixer, beat butter and sugars on high until light in color and fluffy.
  • Add in eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla and beat on medium-high for 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl.
  • On low speed, add flour mixture in 2 separate additions, mixing after each addition until just combined and you no longer see any of the flour.
  • Add oats and chocolate chips and mix until just combined (I usually do this by hand with a spatula).
  • Chill dough in fridge for 30-45 minutes. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the cookie sheet. You can also use a small cookie scoop.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until edges are just lightly browning.
  • Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Feel free to add more chocolate chips if you like a lot of chocolate in your cookies.
