1/4 pound butter (one stick), at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 375°F.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and mix. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla, and mix.
Stir in the oatmeal using a wooden spoon.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
These cookies really spread, so use only about a tablespoon’s worth of dough and space well on cookie sheets lined with parchment.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes.
