Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Gently stir in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon to help create a crispier texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined to prevent tough cookies.
- Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
- Flatten Cookies Slightly: This helps create that irresistible crispy edge.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Every oven is different, so start checking at 12 minutes.
- Cool Completely: Let cookies rest on the wire rack to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Store Properly: Use an airtight container to maintain that perfect crisp texture.
