Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
It's easy to make soft, chewy oatmeal cookies with two kinds of chocolate, butterscotch, and pecans for a lovely crunch.
Equipment
- parchment paper or silicone liners
- medium cookie scoop
- stand mixer
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 2⅓ cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1¼ cups brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups old fashion oats
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir together the dry ingredients; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add softened butter with the brown and white sugar.
- Cream together butter and sugars on high speed for 3-4 minutes until mixture is light and fluffy; scraping down sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
- Add vanilla and both eggs and beat until fully incorporated.
- Reduce speed and slowly add reserved dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth dough, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add oatmeal and stir until well combined.
- Add semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and chopped pecans to the dough. Stir on lowest speed until well combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to form even sized balls of dough. Place dough balls on prepared cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 14 minutes, or until cookies are light brown and the centers are still very soft.
- Remove cookies from oven and allow them to rest on the hot cookie sheet for 4 minutes.
- Use a spatula to transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Cookies should be very lightly browned and the centers will be very soft when you pull them out of the oven. Cookies will continue to cook as they rest on the hot cookie sheet. Baking these cookies longer will result in a crispier cookie.
