Preparation
Step 1
How do you make chocolate oatmeal cookies? Prepare the ingredients. It’s best to use quick-cooking oats-they soften and won’t be tough. Take the butter out of the fridge in advance; it should be soft. The recipe is designed for chocolate chips, but you can use regular dark chocolate. Don’t be surprised by the salt - it enhances the chocolate flavor. Use good-quality cocoa powder with no additives.
Step 2
In a large bowl, add flour and cocoa powder sifted through a sieve. This aerates the flour and breaks up any lumps of flour and cocoa. Add cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix all the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Mash/mix until smooth. You don’t need a mixer - use a silicone spatula. The goal is not to whip, just to mix well.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix.
Step 6
If you’re using a chocolate bar instead of chips, chop it into small pieces. You can use milk chocolate instead of dark if you prefer.
Step 7
Add the chocolate and the oats to the dough. Mix. You’ll get a fairly thick, uniform mixture. Chill the dough for 30 minutes so the butter firms up a bit - this makes the cookies easier to shape. Because flour varies by brand, you may need a little more or less; aim for your desired dough consistency.
Step 8
Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Shape the dough into round cookies and place them on the sheet, leaving space between them - the cookies will spread as they bake. Lightly flatten each cookie on top. I got 11 cookies.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F (top and bottom heat). Bake for about 15 minutes. The time is approximate - adjust to your oven. The homemade oatmeal cookies with chocolate pieces are ready! Remove them from the paper and cool on a rack. Enjoy!
