Ingredients
1cupbutter
1¼cupsdark brown sugar
½cupgranulated sugar
1egg
1egg yolk
1teaspoonvanilla
2cupsall-purpose flour
1cupold fashioned rolled oats*
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonkosher salt
¼teaspooncinnamon**
2cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large saucepan (I used a 6 quart pot), melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, remove from the heat and add the sugars. Stir until the sugars are well-incorporated and mostly smooth. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
While the mixture is chilling, mix together the dry ingredients and set aside. Remove the pot from the refrigerator and stir in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips and use your hands to make sure they are evenly distributed.
Roll by hand into 24 medium size balls or 50-60 smaller ones. Chill for at least 30 minutes. (I simply rolled them into balls and placed them on a couple of plates. Then I stacked the plates in the fridge until I was ready to bake them.)
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Remove the cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and place them onto a large baking sheet a dozen at a time. Bake for 10-12 minutes, larger cookies will require an extra minute or two in the oven. Remove from the baking sheet immediately and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
* The oats are not a strong flavor in these cookies, they provide a great texture, but they in no way make this an oatmeal cookie.** The cinnamon is barely discernible but it adds a unique flavor to these cookies.
