Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of honey, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your chewy honey oatmeal chocolate chip cookies warm or at room temperature! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: Ensure butter, eggs, and honey are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent dough.
- Don't overmix the dough: Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender and prevent tough texture.
- Chill the dough: For even more flavor development, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size: This ensures even baking and professional-looking cookies.
- Watch baking time closely: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked for that perfect chewy texture.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet: Allowing them to cool for 5 minutes helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Store properly: Keep in an airtight container to maintain maximum chewiness and freshness.
