Pro Tip: Once the dough is blended and ready to make cookies, simply use an ice cream scooper to scoop and form the dough into your cookie ball. I like to scoop, flatten the dough, and drop it onto a cookie sheet. Super easy! and you still have one clean hand.
One of the best kept secrets to this recipe is using dark chocolate chips instead of standard chocolate chips. Also, when mixing in the oatmeal, don’t overmix; simply fold them in. During the baking process, the oats stay soft and flavorful when not completely covered in cookie dough.
Once the cookies are baked, the end result is a wonderful oat texture surrounded by the dark chocolate flavors of the cocoa and dark chocolate chips. This creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures in each bite. Remember to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
