Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups dried goji berries
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried goji berries, rolled oats, and dark chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
