Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, ensure that you measure your ingredients accurately, especially the flour and oats, to achieve the perfect cookie texture.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, consider chilling the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Don't Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so keep it gentle!
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Storage Tips: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months and bake fresh cookies whenever you crave them!
