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:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- 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.
- Whisk in the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
- In a separate small bowl, quickly whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
- 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.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least 3 inches apart as they will spread significantly.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8–10 minutes, until the edges look deeply caramelized and dark brown.
- Immediately remove the sheet from the oven and let the cookies sit on the hot pan for 2–3 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Carefully slide the parchment paper onto a wire cooling rack and allow cookies to cool completely before handling.
- 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.
- Lay the finished cookies back on parchment paper until the chocolate is fully set before serving or storing.
