Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Hklbrries

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

Dough needs to chill 1 hour.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

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 F. 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 to 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks to cool slightly. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
