Instructions
How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
- In a mixing bowl beat butter until soft & smooth, using an electric whisk.
- Add light brown sugar and mix for 2-3 minutes until it is pale and fluffy.
- Add milk and mix to form a creamy consistency.
- Scrape down the sides with a spatula so that there are no lumps of butter.
- Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, oats, baking soda, salt) in a separate bowl and add it to the butter mixture.
- Mix on low speed to form cookie dough.
- Add more milk if the cookie dough feels dry.
- Reserve ¼ cup of the chocolate chips for topping and mix the remaining into the cookie dough.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow the cookie dough to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉(175℃).
- Grease and Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop or use a measuring spoon to portion the dough approximately (40g for each cookie dough)
- Arrange the portioned dough at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Add a few chocolate chips for topping prior to baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- These cookies tend to spread. Use a round cookie cutter slightly larger than the cookie and gently scoot it around the edges to re-shape the cookies in a perfect round shape while they’re straight out of the oven.
- Sprinkle sea salt If desired.
Notes
- Cup vs Weighing scale: The US customary cup measurement serves as a rough estimate, as it can have uncertainties, so for precise results, it's recommended to weigh your ingredients using a digital scale in grams.
- Before you start to make any recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the process will go smoothly and easily.
- For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with for accuracy.
- Milk: You can use any dairy-free unsweetened milk (like almond, soy, oat) or dairy-based whole milk.
- Butter: Dairy-free butter sticks or any butter of your choice.
- Chocolate: For a vegan version, use dark chocolate chips of any dairy-free chocolate brand (make sure it doesn't contain milk solids or butter) but cocoa butter is totally fine.
