Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2.5 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Add-ins
- 4 ounces milk chocolate Hershey bar, chopped into chunks
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional: substitute pecans or omit for nut-free)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the salted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Mix Dry with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no dry flour remains.
- Fold in Chocolates and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped milk chocolate chunks, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and walnuts to distribute throughout the dough evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely, ensuring they set properly.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother dough.
- You can reduce granulated sugar for a less sweet cookie.
- Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor impact.
- Substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts for a nut-free option.
- Do not grease the baking sheets; cookies will not stick due to the fat and sugar content.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
