How to Add Oatmeal to Chocolate Chip Cookies

Adding oatmeal to chocolate chip cookies can give them a delicious texture and flavor. Here's how you can do it:

Ingredients: - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats - 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

6. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
