Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix together rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Scoop generous tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges but soft in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
