Thick and chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ingredients

  • 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
  • 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 140 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 100 grams (1 cup) rolled oats
  • 150 grams (1 cup) chocolate chips, plus extra for decorating

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugars and beat using an electric beater on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and rolled oats and mix until soft cookie dough forms. Stir through chocolate chips.
  4. Roll cookie dough into balls, approximately 1.5 tablespoons of each,  and place on baking trays, leaving room for the cookies to flatten out. Place in oven for 11-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
  5. While cookies are warm, add a few extra chocolate chips on top. Gently move cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Oats: I recommend using old-fashioned whole rolled oats for this recipe. Don’t use quick oats or oat flour. Whole rolled oats will give you that chewy cookie we all know and love.

Make-ahead: You can make the cookie dough ahead of time. Roll into balls and then freeze them. When you are ready to bake them, let the cookie dough come back to room temperature and then bake as per above. 

Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
