Instructions

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer, combined butte, egg, brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until creamy and combined. 
  • Add in old-fashioned oats and combined well. 
  • Mix in Gold Medal Enriched Flour and baking soda into the mixture and stir until no lumps of flour is left. 
  • Fold in chocolate chips and make sure they're evenly distributed. 
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes. 
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto the baking sheet and leave 2 inch space between them. 
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes.

Notes

  • Make ahead: You can refrigerate the cookie dough for up to three days. Simply place the oatmeal cookie dough on the counter for thirty minutes and then bake the cookies.
  • Freeze the dough: Transfer the dough to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 months. To bake, thaw the cookie dough in the fridge overnight and proceed with the baking instructions. 
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days. You can also place them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. To serve, you can place the cookies on a baking sheet at heat in the oven at 230 degrees F for about 15 minute.
  • Variations: Add chopped walnuts, pecans or shredded coconut for more flavor. You can also use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips.  
  • Gluten free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour instead of regular all purpose flour.
