Ingredients:

  • /2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, melted
  • /2 cup (100g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • /4 cup (50g) Granulated Sugar
  • Large Egg, lightly beaten
  • teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • /3 cup (40g) All-Purpose Flour, spooned and leveled
  • cup (90g) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • /2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • /4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • ounces (115g) High-Quality Dark Chocolate (70% Cacao minimum), chopped or chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and whisk in both brown and granulated sugars until fully dissolved and glossy.
  3. Whisk in the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, quickly whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least 3 inches apart as they will spread significantly.
  7. Bake one sheet at a time for 8–10 minutes, until the edges look deeply caramelized and dark brown.
  8. Immediately remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies sit on the hot pan for 2–3 minutes to firm up slightly.
  9. Carefully slide the parchment paper onto a wire cooling rack and allow cookies to cool completely before handling.
  10. Once completely cool and crisp, gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or short bursts in the microwave. Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate or drizzle decoratively over the tops.
  11. Lay the finished cookies back on parchment paper until the chocolate is fully set before serving or storing.
