I love giving them to friends and neighbors as gifts as I know they will always be a big hit.

Of course, you can make these without all the "fluff" and they will still taste amazing! They might just turn out a little flat—nothing wrong with that!

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

Yields 20 Cookies | Preheat to 370° | Bake 10-12 min

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup High Quality Butter (slightly softened)

  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar

  • 2 large Eggs

  • 2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste

  • 2 cups Oats

  • 2 cups Kamut or High Quality Flour

  • 1 tsp Baking Powder

  • 1 tsp Baking Soda

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • Chocolate Chips

DIRECTIONS:

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix with a cookie paddle for two minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix until creamy.

Using a blender or food processor, blend oats into a fine powder, then pour into a separate mixing bowl. Add regular flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk together.

Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, mixing until well combined. Repeat until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated.

Add mix-ins of choice (I usually add about a cup of semisweet or milk chocolate chips).

Using a large cookie scoop, pack the dough in using the side of the mixing bowl. Then press the dough onto the cookie sheet with the scoop, to make sure it keeps a solid shape.

Finally, bake the cookies at 370°F for 10-12 minutes. I find 11 minutes is the sweet spot with our oven!

Once the cookies have slightly cooled, use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack. I recommend eating as soon as they’re cool enough to tolerate, because it’s my favorite when they’re still hot!

Store in an airtight container and enjoy for up to a week.
