Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
First things first, let’s set the stage with a delightful image of our star player—these scrumptious cookies!
Now that you’re suitably tempted, here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful batch:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips (because who doesn’t love chocolate?)
- 1 secret ingredient (drumroll please!) — a pinch of cinnamon for that surprise kick!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, because we’re fancy like that.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy. You know it’s ready when you can pretend it’s clouds in cookie land!
- Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Don’t forget the vanilla extract—this is where the magic happens!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. That secret ingredient is sneaking its way in—the aroma might just blow your socks off!
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips, and prepare yourself for a dough that’s so good, you might be tempted to eat it raw (but don’t, safety first!).
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread their deliciousness.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and your kitchen smells like a bakery (good luck resisting the urge to hover around the oven!).
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Patience is key, but these cookies will make it worth your while!
Once they are cool enough to handle, grab a glass of milk and enjoy the chewy goodness! Share them with friends (or don’t; we won’t judge). Happy baking!
