Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use rolled oats for texture.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Packed.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Softened.
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Buy quality chips for best results.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chunkier chocolate pockets, chop a dark chocolate bar and fold it in. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps achieve thicker cookies. These cookies are also freezer-friendly.
