Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups pitted dates, chopped
- 0.75 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three parts, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped dates and milk chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look just set. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delicious Date Oatmeal Cookies with Milk Chocolate Chips! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
