Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
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 unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour in the Kahlua and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best flavor and texture, enjoy within 2-3 days of baking.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to create a smoother, more consistent dough.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough, dense cookies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- For extra richness, slightly chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading.
- Check your cookies a minute before the recommended baking time - ovens can vary, and you want that perfect golden edge.
- Let cookies cool completely on the wire rack to develop their full flavor and texture.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider toasting the oats briefly before adding them to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to help maintain moisture and softness.
