Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 5 cups steel-cut or whole oats
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 24 ounces chocolate chips
- 1 (8-ounce) Hershey’s Bar, grated
- 3 cups nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cookies evenly.
- Process Oats and Dry Ingredients: Place the oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until coarse powder forms. Transfer the powdered oats to a large bowl and sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing to combine thoroughly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Continue beating for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating briefly for 10-15 seconds after each egg is fully mixed in. Add the vanilla extract and beat again briefly to combine.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry oat and flour mixture to the wet mixture, beating just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing to retain a tender cookie texture.
- Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips, grated Hershey’s chocolate bar, and nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and space them about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Serve warm for the best experience, paired perfectly with a glass of milk.
Notes
- Use steel-cut oats for a chewier texture or whole oats for a crunchier cookie.
- Butter should be softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better cookie texture.
- You can substitute nuts based on preference or allergies, such as using almonds or pecans.
- Keep the cookies spaced apart on the baking sheet to prevent merging during baking.
- If you prefer smaller cookies, reduce baking time slightly to avoid overbaking.
- Storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature keeps them fresh for up to a week.
