Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or as a delicious treat anytime!
