These delectable Chocolate Oat Bran Cookies with Chocolate Chips are a guilt-free indulgence that combines wholesome oat bran with the rich decadence of cocoa and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Perfectly soft and chewy, these cookies are made with a dash of milk for added tenderness and just the right amount of sweetness from brown sugar and vanilla. The fiber-rich oat bran not only adds a hearty texture but also makes these treats a slightly healthier option for cookie lovers. Ready in under 30 minutes, theyβre ideal for a quick dessert, after-school snack, or satisfying your chocolate cravings on a busy day. Serve them warm for gooey, melty chocolate bliss, or enjoy them at room temperature with a cup of coffee or milk for an irresistible treat.
Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
Stir in the oat bran and mix until evenly distributed.
Fold in the chocolate chips and add the milk to bring the dough together. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
