Top tips for making Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated. To avoid over or under baking your cookies, be patient and place the cookies in the oven after its fully preheated. To ensure your oven is properly preheated, we highly recommend getting an oven thermometer.
- Beat the butter longer than you think. To get the proper texture and air in your cookies, make sure you beat the butter and sugar for at least 5-6 minutes.
- Don’t overmix the flour. Overmixing the flour can result in tough cookies. To avoid this do the bulk of your mixing at the butter/sugar stage and just mix the flour in just combined.
- Use chopped chocolate, not chips. Kat here to say chocolate chips are meant for snacking, not cookies. Using chopped chocolate ensures you get delicious, rich puddles of melted dark chocolate.
- Measure out your cookies with a cookie scoop. For a quick and easy way to make evenly sized cookies, a cookie scoop is a great kitchen gadget.
- Bake slightly under for chewy, gooey cookies. If you like soft, chewy cookies like we do under-baking the cookies by about 1 minute is the secret!
- Finish with salt. For the last finishing touch that takes your cookies up a notch, sprinkle with a little kosher salt right out of the oven.
