Method
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For softer cookies, remove from the oven when slightly underbaked; they will set as they cool.
You can substitute raisins for chocolate chips or add nuts as desired.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a tiny bit of flaky sea salt on top before baking.
