The best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Made from Great Grandma’s kitchen and now in yours. Beyond what you’re used to and simple to follow.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
2 cups chocolate chips
1 large chocolate bar (I used Hershey’s)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
sea salt for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a standing mixer, cream together the butter, butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar and butter mixture. Stir in the oats and then the chocolate chips.
Scoop and drop two inches apart onto two baking sheets (12 cookies per sheet).
Chop the chocolate bar and place a few pieces on the top of each cookie along with a sprinkle of sea salt. Bake on the middle rack of your oven for 10-12 minutes until light golden brown. Do not over bake. Let cookies cool for at least two minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
