Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for variety.
  • Cookie dough can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
