Ingredients
- 2 cups (180 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170 g) caramel bits
- 1 cup (182 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- caramel sauce, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add butter and brown sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth.
- Add eggs, molasses, and vanilla. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer still on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the caramel bits and the chocolate chips until just incorporated.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Gently press to slightly flatten the cookies.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes. They may look slightly doughy, and that is okay.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce.
