Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (room temp is best but not essential)
  • 1 Tbsp firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 2 Tbsp flour (fluff, scoop, and level)
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp rolled oats (old fashioned or quick cooking)
  • 1 Tbsp chocolate chips (plus a few extra for the top)

Instruction

  • Set oven to 350F
  • Put the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl, or mug. Use a fork to blend them together really well.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats and continue to mix until everything is well blended and there is no dry flour left.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and bring the dough together with your hands and roll into a smooth round ball.
  • Set on a cookie sheet, you can line with a piece of parchment if you want, but it's not necessary. Flatten just slightly with your fingers, and pop in a couple of extra chips on tip. Push them in well but keep that nice round shape.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes
  • If you like your cookie soft and gooey, eat it warm from the oven. If you like your cookie with a little bit of crunch, let it cool completely.
