Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temp
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 4 oz. milk chocolate, grated
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Turn mixer to low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until each egg is fully mixed in, scraping down the sides of the bowl with each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Put the oats in a blender and grind to a powder. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ground oats, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
-
With the mixer on low, add the flour/oat mixture to the butter mixture gradually and mix until just combined. Add the grated milk chocolate. With a large spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl and make sure everything is well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Spoon batter onto prepared bans using between 1 and 2 tbsp of batter per cookie depending on how large you like them, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
-
Bake for 8-12 minutes.
-
Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
