How to Make Decadent Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, and ¾ cup Splenda (or granulated sugar, to taste) until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 cups all-purpose flour, and 2 cups rolled oats.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips (or other mix-ins of your choice), and any additional ingredients like nuts, dried fruit, or spices.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Gently flatten each cookie with a buttered spatula.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as ovens vary.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
