Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 t. vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two large baking sheets.
Combine the butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract; set aside.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda into a small bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating continuously. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chunks.
Spoon tablespoonfuls of the dough, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cookies cool for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks. Repeat with any remaining dough.
