Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed dark brown sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 Tbsp cornstarch

½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

2 ¼ cup regular rolled oats (not instant)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 F and line baking trays with parchment paper. Cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until smooth and light. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda and salt together. Add this to the butter mixture and stir to blend. Stir in the oats and then add the chocolate chips. Drop the cookies by tablespoonfuls (or using a small ice cream scoop), leaving at least 2 inches between the cookies. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes (the cookies may look underdone, but will set up to be nice and chewy once cooled) and allow them to cool on the baking tray.
