Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 5 cups steel-cut or whole oats
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 24 ounces chocolate chips
  • 1 (8-ounce) Hershey’s Bar, grated
  • 3 cups nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Place the oats in a food processor or blender and pulse until they become a coarse powder. Transfer to a large bowl and sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to combine.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Continue beating for 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating for 10-15 seconds after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating just until the mixture is well combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Mix in Chocolate and Nuts: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips, grated Hershey’s chocolate bar, and nuts evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies and Bake: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet spaced 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy these warm with a glass of milk for the best experience.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs helps in better incorporation and a smoother batter.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts with your favorite type or omit them for a nut-free version.
  • Ensure not to overbake the cookies; they should be golden brown at the edges but still soft in the center.
  • Storing cookies in an airtight container keeps them fresh for several days.
  • Steel-cut oats give a chewier texture compared to quick oats if using as a substitute.
