Sweet and comforting, these Chewy Maple Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies bring together wholesome oats and rich chocolate chips for a delightful homemade treat. The touch of maple adds a subtle, cozy twist you’ll find yourself craving.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Drizzle in the maple syrup, crack in the egg, and pour in the vanilla extract. Beat everything until well combined, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
These chewy gems are perfect for anyone seeking a hearty, homemade cookie with a hint of something special. The maple syrup provides a natural sweetness that complements the wholesome oats. If you’re looking for a healthier tweak, you can swap white flour for whole wheat flour or reduce the sugar slightly. For nut lovers, toss in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans. Whether you enjoy them as a quick snack or a sweet reward after a long day, these cookies offer a delicious combination of textures and flavors that’s sure to satisfy.
