Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1/2 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth. Gradually whisk in the chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. If using, also fold in the chopped nuts.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake to preserve their fudgy texture.
Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
