Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2In a large bowl or mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. 3Add eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla; mix until fully combined.
  4. 4Add flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until incorporated.
  5. 5Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. 6Scoop dough using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons) and place on a baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  7. 7Bake for 11 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center — that’s exactly what keeps them soft.
  8. 8Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Tips

  • To keep cookies soft, bake for 11 minutes; they will look slightly underbaked.
  • This recipe freezes beautifully, baked or unbaked.
  • Easily cut the recipe in half if fewer cookies are needed.
  • You can mix all ingredients in one bowl (except chocolate chips) without separating wet and dry.
  • Use hands to separate egg yolk and egg if not using fancy tools.
