Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Servings 18 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.
  • Whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt.
  • cream the butter until light and add both sugars. Continue beating until fluffy. Beat in the egg and then the maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Stir in the flour mixture and the oats, just until they are combined, and then stir in the chocolate chips.
  • The flavors will come together better if you let the dough sit for a while. At this point in the recipe you can let the dough rest in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. I just let mine rest on the counter for an hour.
  • Drop the dough onto the pan in 2 tablespoon-sized balls. (they also can be kept in the freezer) Press the dough down a bit before putting the pan in the oven. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until a light golden brown. The cookies keep for about 5 days in an airtight container.
