Desserts - Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • Makes 4 dozen cookies

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Fold in oats and chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place cookies, 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly.

Bake cookies until lightly browned around edges, 10-12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks to cool slightly. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.

Baking tip Make dough ahead of time and freeze it. Later, use defrosted dough to make homemade cookies in minutes.
