1cupunsalted butterroom temperature, 226 grams
1cupbrown sugarpacked, 213 grams
½cupgranulated sugar99 grams
2largeeggs
1tspvanilla extract
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Reserve the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips for the outside of the dough balls.
In a separate mixing bowl cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with a mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mix again on low. Gently add in the dry ingredients, mixing on low or by hand just until combined. The dough will be thick.
Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls on a silicone mat lined baking sheet. Press the remaining chocolate chips into the dough balls. Place the cookies about 3 inches apart on a silicone lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes. You can chill them longer for a thicker, chewier cookie.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Bake for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look underbaked when you pull them out of the oven, but they will continue to bake on the hot cookie sheet.
