“My Favorite” Cookie
To this day, this cookie recipe is one my Mom reminds me was “my favorite” growing up. I’ll admit: it’s been a long time since I’ve made these myself, and I have no clue why. After making them for this post, I wholeheartedly understand why these were my favorite. Their slightly crispy and exterior gives way to a tender and oat-studded center. They’re chocolatey, chewy, and “my favorite” cookie recipe 🙂 Read on to learn more about these amazing Choc-Oat Chip Cookies!
Making Choc-Oat Chip Cookies
You may be wondering, “Wouldn’t this just be a chocolate chip cookie with oats in it?” And if you were asking that question, the answer would be…well, yes. And no! Let’s dive in.
What Makes Choc-Oat Chip Cookies Different
As mentioned above, these cookies include chewy oats which add lovely texture to the already delicious chocolate chip cookie. But there are a couple of other things that set these cookies apart!
The amount of chocolate chips: While some recipes will call for 1 to 2 cups, this recipe calls for a full 12 ounces of chocolate chips. I like using the larger chips which mean more chocolate in each bite.
The salt: I’m a big fan of salty chocolate chip cookies, but this recipe includes a surprisingly small amount of salt! It’s the perfect amount, however, to compliment the other flavors. While I would normally recommend a larger amount in cookie recipes, this is one where I suggest sticking to the amount listed.
The caramelized flavor from the brown sugar: Where some chocolate chip cookies call for more white sugar, or at least a more equal amount of white sugar to brown sugar, this recipe calls for almost 5 times the amount of white sugar to brown sugar! This yields a more deeply flavored cookie, which works perfectly with the oats and amount of chocolate.
