Servings: 8 cookies
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons salted butter -softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons old fashioned oats (rolled oats or quick oats)
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped pecans , or walnuts
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, use an electric hand mixer to blend the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Add the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl. Mix just until the ingredients are combined—avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop or a large tablespoon. Place the scoops onto a parchment-lined or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Measure Flour Correctly: Fluff the flour in its container, then use a spoon to fill your dry measuring cup slightly over the top. Level it off with the flat edge of a knife. This method prevents packed flour, which can make cookies dense and dry.
- Line Your Baking Sheet: Use a baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Skip greasing the sheet with butter or spray—this can cause the cookies to spread too much.
- Watch the Bake Time: Remove cookies from the oven as soon as the edges turn lightly golden. This ensures soft, chewy cookies. Overbaking can make them dry, so keep a close eye on them!
