Chocolate Chip Blended Oatmeal Cookies

 

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chocolate chips

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well-combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Measure the oats into a blender or food processor and process until the oats are blended into a coarse powder.
• Add the oats and flour to the bowl and mix until a few dry streaks remain. Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly combined.
• Scoop the cookie onto the prepared baking sheets (I use a #40 cookie scoop – it holds a couple tablespoons of dough), spacing them a few inches apart. See note for making/baking large bakery-style cookies.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until just lightly golden around the edges but not too dark. Remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
