Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Texture

The texture of these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are slightly chewy, in the best way, from the rolled oats, and have an ever so slight crisp on the edges for the perfect cookie texture!

The right kind of Oats to use

For this recipe you will want to be sure that you use rolled oats and no other kind of oats! The chewy texture of the rolled oats makes these cookies and any other kind of oats will not yield proper cookies.

Topping the cookies

Now I’m not going to say you have to top your classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with flaky sea salt…. but like, you *have* to. That is all… just trust me.

How to store classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

You’ll want to store these cookies for up to 4 days in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed, however, within the first 2 days… especially when fresh and warm! 🙂

I sure do hope you enjoy these cookies as much and myself, my friends, and my family do! Cant wait to hear your thoughts. 🙂

Ingredients

• 1 Egg

• 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter

• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

• 1 Cup Rolled Oats

• 3/4 Cup & 1 Tbsp All Purpose Flour

• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

• 1/3 Cup Cane Sugar

• 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda

• 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt

• 1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Directions

• Begin by melting the butter. Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the egg, brown sugar, cane sugar, and vanilla. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined.
• Then, add all purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the wet ingredients and fold together until fully combined. Cookie dough will be thick!
• Finally, pour in the chocolate chips! Combine once more with the batter.
• Then, cover and refrigerate cookie dough for one hour.
• When you’re ready to bake your cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
• Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and let it come to room temperature (this is important as cookie dough that is cold will not spread much when baked) Scoop the dough onto your cookie sheet, and bake for 11-12 minutes, until cookies are very lightly browning around the edges.
• Once done baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 15 minutes.
• Top each cookie with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and enjoy!
