Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups carob chips
- 0.5 cup rolled oats (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. If adding rolled oats, mix them in at this step.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the carob chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the 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 while the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
