Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: Makes 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies bake evenly and turn out perfectly golden brown.
-
Cream the Margarine and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of margarine with 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream these ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate the Eggs: Add 2 large eggs to the creamed mixture, one at a time. Beat well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated into the batter.
-
Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in 1 tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these into the batter until everything is well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour is fully blended in.
-
Fold in Oats and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 2 1/2 cups of rolled oats and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix; you want the oats and chips evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Scoop and Bake: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown. If you prefer them chewier, be sure not to overbake.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delectable treats with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
