Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract 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 just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop cookie 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 set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy with your favorite hot beverage or a glass of milk!
