Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Mix-ins:
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers still look soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
