There is nothing better than the smell of warm cookies baking in the oven. This small batch recipe gives you just enough to satisfy that sweet tooth without ending up with a mountain of cookies sitting on your counter.

My favorite thing about these cookies is the texture. They turn out lovely and crisp on the edges while staying soft and chewy in the middle. Be careful not to overbake them so you can keep that perfect texture.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Scoop the dough into small mounds and place them onto your prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

These cookies taste best warm, but you can keep them fresh in an airtight container for up to three days. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, add an extra minute to the baking time.
