Ingredients
Scale
Cookies Base:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (180 grams) old-fashioned oats
Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup (80 grams) shredded coconut
- 1 cup (120 grams) chopped nuts
- 1 cup (170 grams) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (140 grams) dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and cover baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Whip butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
- Sift together dry ingredients and gradually fold into the creamy mixture, creating a consistent dough base.
- Gently fold in a medley of mix-ins: rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a rounded spoon, deposit dollops of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them to allow slight spreading.
- Slide trays into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as a sign of perfect doneness.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to achieve complete cooling and optimal texture.
Notes
- Customize mix-ins based on what’s in your pantry for a unique twist every time you bake.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smoother, more even cookie dough that blends perfectly.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Swap ingredients for dietary needs: use gluten-free flour, vegan butter, or dairy-free chocolate chips to accommodate different preferences.
