Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (4 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter, cool but not cold
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup chocolate chunks (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Place oven rack in center of the oven
  • Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, in a small bowl and set aside
  • In a large mixing bowl (with a paddle attachment) cream the butter and both sugars for about 3 minutes until well blended.
  • Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Gently blend. Do not overmix.
  • Add the flour mixture and gently mix until all the streaks are gone and everything is well combined.
  • Add the oats and chips. Gently combine until completely blended.
  • Cover and chill the dough for about 30-minutes (and up to 4 hours). Optional but recommended.
  • Drop by rounded Tablespoon, or use a cookie scooper, onto ungreased sheet pans. Cookies should be spaced about 2-inches apart because they will spread.
    (Line the sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up)
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and let cookies rest on the pan for 1-minute. Remove from pan and cool completely on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • This recipe can be doubled
  • If you prefer, in place of the chocolate chips, add in raisins, craisins, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips 
  • Blending the egg ahead of time helps avoid overmixing when combining the ingredients
