Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 40
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2½ cups quick-cooking oats
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar.
  2. Add eggs one at a time until well-mixed.
  3. Add soda, salt and vanilla and mix, taking care to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that all ingredients are well-incorporated.
  4. Add flour, mixing just to combine.
  5. Add oats and mix on medium speed for 20-30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  6. Add chocolate chips and mix just to distribute.
  7. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake 10-12 minutes in a 375° oven. (Mine took about eleven and a half minutes.
  9. Cool 2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack. **I like to dress these cookies up a bit with drizzled white or milk chocolate. Melt chocolate in a seal-able plastic bag and microwave on low until the chocolate is melted. Snip off a tiny corner of the bag and drizzle chocolate over the cookies if desired.
