Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups (180 g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 cups (364 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, or milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rolled oats.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and brown sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses. 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 combined.
- Fold in 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chips, reserving the rest for topping.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently press to slightly flatten the cookies.
- Press the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. The cookies 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.
