how to make Crumbl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg (at room temperature)
1 & 1/4 cup old fashioned whole rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat for about 3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
Gradually mix in the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl until everything is combined.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips gently.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out 8 equally sized balls of cookie dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently press down on them to about 1 inch in thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they do not overbake, as you want them soft and gooey inside.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

tips to make Crumbl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make sure your butter is softened, but not melted. This helps in achieving the right texture.
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best chewiness in your cookies.
Do not over-bake the cookies. They will continue to cook slightly after being taken out of the oven, so it’s okay if they look a little underbaked.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or white chocolate, for a different flavor.

variation

You can add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for an extra crunch. You can also substitute half of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips for a delicious twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, you can use quick oats, but the texture will be different. Rolled oats provide a better chewiness in the cookies.

2. Can I leave out the chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can make oatmeal cookies without chocolate chips if you prefer plain oatmeal cookies or add in dried fruits like raisins.

3. What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky to scoop, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
