2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. -
Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes). -
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until well incorporated. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. -
Add Oats and Chocolate Chips:
Stir in rolled oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. -
Scoop and Bake:
Drop dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft. -
Cool:
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
For even richer cookies, use dark cocoa powder. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
