Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and oats using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start. This helps create a smooth, creamy batter that results in perfectly textured cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, consider chilling the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies maintain their shape and enhance the flavors.
- Use a Cookie Scoop: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough. This ensures even baking and a consistent size.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Storage Tip: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. If you want to enjoy them later, freeze them for up to three months!Enjoy baking these delicious Irish Triple Threat Cookies, and watch them disappear in no time!
