Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Directions:
-With an electric mixer, combine the egg, butter, sugars, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined.
-Add the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, optional salt, and beat on low speed until just combined.
-Add the chocolate chips and beat on low speed until just combined.
-Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly.
-Place mounds on a large plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Do not bake with un-chilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading!
-Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart, and bake for about 11 minutes.
-Cut your Fatty Sundays Dark Chocolate Pretzels into 1-inch pieces. Place a piece in the center of each cookie to decorate. The dark chocolate will begin to melt into the cookie- yum! Let cool and enjoy!
We love how oatmeal-y and chunky these cookies look and taste! The dark chocolate balances so well with the semisweet chocolate chip cookies, creating a bitter-sweet taste. We recommend enjoying them as soon as they’ve cooled, so that the warm chocolate melts in your mouth. Pair them with an ice cold glass of milk for the ultimate cookies and milk experience! Having friends over for the night? Bake these cookies right before they arrive, so they’re welcomed to the delicious smell of oatmeal chocolate chip. And make sure to order your Fatty Sundays Dark Chocolate Pretzels in time!
