Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Start preparing the oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies by weighing the butter and melting it in a saucepan or microwave.
Let it cool slightly and add the brown sugar. I used dark brown sugar.
Mix with a spoon or spatula until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Add the whole egg and yolk to the cookie dough and mix again.
Continue flavoring the dough: I chose vanilla powder.
Always mix everything with a spatula or spoon to get a homogeneous dough.
Continue preparing the oatmeal cookies by adding the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the rest of the ingredients.
After mixing well, also add the rolled oats to the bowl. I used small ones.
Mix again until you get a well-combined dough.
Finish with the dark chocolate chips. I used 80 g, but you can use more or less depending on your taste.
Mix the chocolate into the rest of the ingredients until you get a compact and sticky mixture.
Shape the cookies directly on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper using an ice cream scoop or spoon.
Keep them well spaced as they will flatten during baking.
Bake the oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies in a preheated convection oven for 8 minutes.
Remove them from the oven even if they seem too soft and let them cool completely on a rack before eating.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I use large rolled oats instead of small ones?
Yes, but I recommend lightly grinding them in a blender to get a more uniform texture in the dough. Small rolled oats blend better and make the cookies more compact.
Can I replace butter with another ingredient?
Yes! You can replace butter with 180 g of coconut oil or 200 g of Greek yogurt for a lighter version. Keep in mind that the final consistency may vary slightly.
How to store oatmeal cookies?
Store them in a tin box or airtight container at room temperature for 5-6 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them for about 2 months and thaw them as needed.
