Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla just until combined, about 30 seconds.
  3. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt, then stir into the wet ingredients. Fold in oats and chocolate chips until no streaks remain.
  4. Drop 6 heaping 1.5-tablespoon mounds of dough onto the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

If the dough feels too soft to scoop, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes. A quick chill helps the cookies hold their shape without changing the bake time.
