Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper, or lightly grease with non-stick vegetable oil spray.
-
Beat together the butter and sugars until smooth.
-
Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
-
Whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and add to the butter mixture in the bowl.
-
Mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and mix briefly.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Decide what size cookies you want to make. A muffin scoop (1/4 cup) will make 20 large, palm-sized cookies. A tablespoon cookie scoop (4 teaspoons) will make 50 medium (2 3/4" to 3") cookies; and a teaspoon cookie scoop (2 teaspoons) will make 100 small (2 1/2") cookies.
-
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2" to 2" between cookies.
-
Bake the cookies for 12 to 17 minutes, until they're a light golden brown, with slightly darker edges. Their middles may still look a tiny bit shiny; that's OK, they'll continue to bake as they cool on the pan.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven, and as soon as they're set enough to handle, transfer them to racks to cool.
Tips from our Bakers
-
Want to make this gluten-free? For great results, substitute King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour for the all-purpose flour in this recipe, no further ingredient changes necessary. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven.
- These cookies make wonderful ice cream sandwiches. Sandwich two cookies around a scoop of softened ice cream — we especially like Ben & Jerry's (Phish Food!).
-
Refrigerating cookie dough for as little as 30 minutes can make a big difference in your cookies’ texture and flavor. See the details in our blog post, Chilling cookie dough.
