How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
STEP ONE: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Add the egg and vanilla into the bowl. Mix together until smooth. If you’re using a hand mixer, keep the speed on a low setting so that you don’t over-beat the dough.
STEP TWO: Next, add in the flour, oats, baking soda and salt. And then stir in the dark chocolate chunks and coconut.
PRO TIP: If you want to make your cookies look picture-perfect, use half of the chocolate chunks in the batter and place the second half by hand on top of your cookies before they go into the oven. This will allow you to distribute them evenly and you’ll have lots of chocolate peeking out of the top of your cookies.
STEP THREE: Use an ice cream scoop (or spoon) to scoop 2-inch scoops onto a greased baking sheet. (Using a scoop helps make sure that your cookies are all the same size.) Make sure you leave enough room between cookies — about 2-inches.
STEP FOUR: Bake at 375 degrees for 14 – 15 minutes, until the edges of the cookies barely start to turn golden brown. When the cookies are done, they should have a sweet crunch around the edges and a chewy, soft center (the best)!
Recipe Additions:
Roll Your Cookies in Sugar: Roll your scoops of cookie dough in granulated sugar before placing them on the baking sheet. This gives the cookies an extra sweet sugary covering.
Salty & Sweet: We love to pair these cookies with a sprinkling of salt on top for a tasty mix of salty and sweet. Try it for yourself by sprinkling a few pinches of sea salt flakes on top of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.
Troubleshooting this Recipe:
Cookies too flat? If your cookies are turning out too flat, double-check that you’ve measured the right amounts of key ingredients like flour, butter, and sugar. Or chill your batter for 20 – 30 minutes before baking.
Loaded with dark chocolate and sweet, from-scratch flavor, these oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies are incredibly delicious. They’re best enjoyed when they are fresh out of the oven so that you can get gooey, melted chocolate in every bite!
