How to Make Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
- Melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place 1 cup of rolled oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground (about 30 seconds).
- Transfer the ground oats to a large bowl. Add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 1 minute).
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy (about 30 seconds).
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and beat until fully incorporated (about 20 seconds).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined (about 15 seconds).
- Stir in the remaining ¾ cup rolled oats, 1 cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped nuts (optional). Mix on low speed until evenly distributed (about 10 seconds).
- Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 14-18 minutes, rotating and switching the positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft. The cookies should be cracked on top.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
