Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup dried blueberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (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 butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the oats, dried blueberries, dark chocolate chips, and pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on 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 brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
