Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and optional chopped nuts by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies warm with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
