Ingredients
Scale
- 1¼ cups (156g) all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (150g) dark brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon (42g) old fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) chilled salted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup (145g) chocolate chips or chunks, divided
- ⅓ cup (33g) finely chopped walnuts, optional
- 1 large egg
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- flaky sea salt, optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oats, baking soda, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix on medium-low until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 4 minutes.
- Integrate ¾ cup of chocolate chips and walnuts, mixing gently.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla, mixing slowly before increasing speed to form the dough.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto a plate, topping each with remaining chocolate chips, then shape into higher mounds.
- Freeze the dough for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange the dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space for spreading.
- Bake for 11-15 minutes, rotating trays once, until the edges are golden but centers are slightly soft.
- On removal, shape the cookies with a spoon if necessary and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Allow to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps to create a chewier texture.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Store cookies in an airtight container for maximum freshness.
