Rich, chocolatey, and chewy, these double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies with chocolate chips are a perfect sweet treat. You have to love this chocolate lovers’ spin on the old-time favorite oatmeal cookie.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together, about 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating just until combined.
- Mix in the oats.
- Mix in the dark chocolate chips.
- Using a #60 cookie scoop, place dough onto a baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes, until set.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use a #60 cookie scoop to put the batter onto the cookie sheets. The recipe makes 81 cookies.
- Any chocolate chips can be substituted. Personally, I like a combination of ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with ½ cup dark chocolate chips.
- These cookies are AMAZING when warm with a glass of milk, and taste like a fudgy brownie with oats.
