Equipment
- parchment paper
- cookie sheet
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter or margarine softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups quick or old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups 12 oz Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup coarsely chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, and softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy. This process incorporates air, contributing to the desirable texture of these classic cookies.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening agent and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
- Stir in the oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips (along with nuts, if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes for chewy cookies or 12-13 minutes for crispy cookies. The edges should be golden brown, and the centers set but still soft.
- Allow the baked cookies to cool on the sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents breakage.
