Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 pound (454 grams) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups packed (425 grams) light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups (480 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 5 cups (400 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

Add-ins

  • 24 ounces (680 grams) bittersweet chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli 60% cacao)
  • 8 ounces (227 grams) Hershey’s chocolate bars, broken into chunks
  • 3 cups (360 grams) very roughly chopped walnuts, pecans, or a combination

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) with two racks placed close to the center to ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy in texture, approximately 3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the beaten eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is combined thoroughly.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt to distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until just combined.
  6. Add Oats: Stir in the rolled oats to the dough. Note that the dough will be very thick at this point.
  7. Incorporate Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in the bittersweet chocolate chips, chunks of Hershey’s chocolate bars, and roughly chopped walnuts and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Form Cookies: Using your hands or spoons, scoop and loosely form the dough into golf-ball-sized mounds. Place the dough balls at least two inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets to allow spreading.
  9. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the tops are just turning golden and the cookies are still soft in the center.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not grease the cookie sheets; the dough releases enough butter to prevent sticking and produces a crisper bottom.
  • For a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to overbake which can make cookies dry.
  • Feel free to substitute nuts based on preference or omit for nut allergies.
  • Using high-quality bittersweet chocolate enhances the richness of the cookies.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
