Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

This recipe is a quick and simple way to make soft, chewy chocolate chip oat cookies using basic ingredients. The butter and sugars are creamed for softness, then an egg is mixed in, followed by flour and baking soda without overmixing. Oats and chocolate chips are folded into the thick dough, which is scooped onto a lined baking sheet and baked until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft. Letting the cookies cool briefly helps them set while staying tender inside. The method is easy, requires no special equipment, and consistently produces thick, moist cookies with crisp edges and melted chocolate.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or baking mat

Method
 

  1. Mix the butter, sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy. The mixture should look pale and soft.
  2. Add the egg and stir until it blends in fully. The dough should look thicker and glossy.
  3. Stir in the flour and baking soda until just combined. The dough will start to hold together.
  4. Fold in the oats and chocolate chips. The dough should be thick with chips spread throughout.
  5. Scoop the dough into rounded mounds and place them on the baking sheet with space between each one.
  6. Bake until the edges are light golden and the centers still look soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes so they set but stay tender inside.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough or the cookies can turn tough. Watch the bake time closely since overbaking dries them out. If the butter is too melted, the cookies may spread too much.
