- Yield: 1 Humongous Batch
Ingredients:
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups oatmeal (finely ground into oat flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces Hershey bar, grated
- 3 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use ungreased sheets.
-
Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat well until fully incorporated.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
-
Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, grated Hershey bar, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, gently flatten each ball of dough with the back of a spoon for slightly flatter cookies.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still be soft, which is perfect—they will firm up slightly as they cool.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain freshness.
Recipe Notes:
- For a richer flavor, you can use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet.
- If you prefer chewier cookies, bake them for the shorter time; for crispier cookies, extend the baking time slightly.
- This recipe yields a large batch of cookies, perfect for sharing at gatherings or freezing for later enjoyment.
