Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

  • Author: Michal Martinek
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: About 70 2-inch cookies 1x

Description

Crisp on the surface and chewy on the inside, this old-school cookie is one of my favorites.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 12 tablespoons ( sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and both sugars in a bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed (or by hand, using a sturdy wire whisk) until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, water and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour mixture until no flour is visible.
  5. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips and mix well.
  6. Drop the dough by tablespoon onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart, and bake for about 10–12 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Notes

  1. Dip the spoon in water prior to every scoop for an easy dough release onto the baking sheet.
  2. Substitute nuts, raisins or coconut flakes for the chocolate chips.
