Oh my. I don’t think I’ve baked cookies in at least 10 years! I kind of remember baking cookies once and thinking about how irritating it was that it took so long,\u00a0because\u00a0you had to do batch after batch after batch. I’m not sure why I have this memory considering this recipe for oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies took all of one batch on two cookie sheets. 15 minutes, done!<\/p>\n

I am in baking dessert mode and my favorite recipe blog for baking is Smitten Kitchen. For this recipe I used Smitten Kitchen’s crispy salted oatmeal white chocolate cookie<\/a> recipe. I was craving dark chocolate, so I used a Ghirardelli\u00a0semi-sweet baking chocolate bar.<\/p>\n

Okay, so mine came out much more flat and not as airy, and I noticed that the top pan spread out more, but I really have no idea why. I am so new to this baking thing! Anyways, I still thought they were delicious!<\/p>\n

I also finally got to use the beautiful cookie platter my step-mom gave me! Love it!<\/p>\n

1 cup flour
\n3\/4 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1 3\/4 sticks butter softened (I used half unsalted and half salted because that is what I had, but the recipe called for unsalted)
\n1 cup sugar
\n1\/4 cup packed brown sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 teaspoon vanilla
\n2 1\/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
\n4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate chopped.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.<\/li>\n
  2. In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<\/li>\n
  3. In another bowl beat the butter and both sugars until fluffy.<\/li>\n
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the flour mixture and mix well.<\/li>\n
  6. Add the oats and chocolate and combine. I found that using my hands worked best for this.<\/li>\n
  7. Separate into 24 little balls and push down a little to make discs.<\/li>\n
  8. Space out on two buttered cookie sheets (or use parchment paper if you have it).<\/li>\n
  9. Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt onto each cookie.<\/li>\n
  10. Baked for 13-15 minutes or until browned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
