Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a standing or hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 4 minutes ( I know 4 minutes seems like a long time, but it makes all the difference).

Add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.

Stir the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl.

Slowly add the flour to the butter/sugar mixture until combined.

Stir in oats and chocolate chips mixing well until combined.

Use an regular ice cream scooper or tablespoon to place cookie dough onto parchment or silpat lined cookie sheet.*

Press down each cookie and top with a few flakes of sea salt.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Toast the unsalted butter until it turns golden and nutty (about 5-7 minutes), then cool completely before creaming with sugars for deeper, more complex flavor that elevates the entire cookie.
Toast the Oats 🌾
Spread old-fashioned oats on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F for 8-10 minutes before adding to dough to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent a dense, gummy texture in the finished cookies.
Chill Dough Strategically ❄️
Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours (or freeze for individual portions) so cookies spread evenly, bake with crispy edges while maintaining a chewy center, and the flavors meld beautifully.
Layer Your Sea Salt Strategically 🧂
Use kosher salt in the dough for integration, then sprinkle sea salt flakes on top immediately after removing from oven while still warm, allowing it to adhere and provide bursts of salinity that contrast the sweetness.
Underbake for Optimal Texture 🍪
Remove cookies when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone (about 1-2 minutes before they appear fully baked); they'll continue cooking from residual heat and set to a perfectly chewy consistency.
