Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup quick oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the quick oats and chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For a crunchier cookie, bake for an additional 2 minutes. You can substitute half of the chocolate chips with raisins if preferred.
