Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brewer’s yeast
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brewer’s yeast, ground flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and any optional mix-ins of your choice.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
