How to cook deliciously - Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Editor’s Tip: It will likely take five to seven to cream the butter and sugars properly. That might seem excessive, but it’s important to cream butter and sugar together effectively. The process adds pockets of air that help puff up the cookies (and other baked goods) as they bake, resulting in softer cookies.
2. Stage
Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined. Give the bowl a good scrape on the bottom and sides with a rubber spatula.
3. Stage
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat well. Using a spatula, fold in the oats and chocolate chips.
4. Stage
Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls spaced 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. You could also use a cookie scoop to portion out more consistent dough balls! Editor’s Tip: We love to stick in a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies before baking. Once baked, the chocolate chips add beautiful pockets of pooled chocolate. Yum!
5. Stage
Bake the cookies until they’re a beautiful golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes. Wait a few minutes to let the cookie bottoms set, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool to room temperature. Editor’s Tip: For a gourmet baking garnish, sprinkle some flaky Maldon salt onto the tops the cookies for a deeper cookie flavor and a gorgeous, professional-looking touch.
