(Adapted from Homesick Texan.)
The original recipe stated that it should make four dozen, but we got six dozen smaller cookies out of ours.
3/4 cup of butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 egg, preferably at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cup of oats (such as Quaker)
1 cup of whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups of chocolate chips (semisweet work well)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together the butter, sugar, and egg. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. (You can do this by hand or on the lowest setting of a stand mixer, if you have one.)
Place balls of dough about 1 teaspoon in size on a greased or parchment-paper lined cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 12 minutes. Let cool and devour.
We were honestly not expecting these cookies to be as delicious as they were, but were pleasantly surprised. They’re a nice change from the typical chocolate chip cookie and are super easy to make, but watch out because they go fast.
