Small Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This Small Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe makes 10 cookies that are chewy and chocolatey. Just enough cookies for one or two each, but not enough to end up with leftovers.
Servings: 10 cookies
Calories: 175kcal
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup flour 46 grams
- ¾ cup rolled oats 78 grams
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and mix to combine. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add the salt and baking soda and stir to combine. Add the flour and combine. Add the rolled oats and combine, and lastly add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Add the rolled oats and combine, and lastly add the chocolate chips and stir to combine. Adding the ingredients one at a time will help to ensure that they are evenly incorporated which is important with such a small batter. Be sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl with your spoon as you are mixing.
- Scoop about 2 tbsps worth of dough onto a baking sheet. I will often use my hands to help shape each ball of dough because the dough can be crumbly with all of the oats. Once on the baking sheet, flatten each cookie slightly.
- Bake at 350°F for 9 minutes.

Notes
-
- Mix by hand: Mix the dough by hand with a large spoon. Because it is a small batch using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer is not helpful. There is so little dough that it would all get caught up in the beaters and not mix properly.
-
- Add ingredients one at a time: Mix the ingredients one at a time to ensure that they are fully incorporated. This is extra important in a small batch of dough.
-
- Shaping the cookies: When shaping the cookie dough into balls use your fingers to press the dough gently but firmly together. When the dough comes out of the oven, if you want perfectly circular cookies (totally not necessary, uneven cookies have more character!) you can turn a glass upside down around the cookie and gently circle it around the cookie to give it an even circular shape.
-
- Flatten the cookies: Using your hands or the back of the spoons, flatten the cookies slightly so that they are not poofy.
