Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in oats and chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty flavor boost.
  • Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft longer.
