Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened room temperature
  • 0.95 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.05 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 tsp instant espresso powder optional, boosts chocolate flavor
  • 2.1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.9 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, pulsed to a coarse flour measure after grinding
  • 0.9 tsp baking soda
  • 0.9 tsp baking powder
  • 0.8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.75 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3.5 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsely grated
  • 1.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts lightly toasted for best flavor

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • Pulse rolled oats in a food processor to a coarse flour. Set aside.
  • Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2–3 minutes.
  • Mix in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and espresso powder; blend until smooth.
  • Whisk flour, ground oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two additions. Mix just to combine.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop 1½-tablespoon portions onto sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9–11 minutes, rotating once, until edges are golden and centers just set.
  • Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer cookies to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the chocolate chips for toffee bits or chopped dark chocolate. For bakery-style thickness, chill the dough 30–60 minutes before baking. Store cookies airtight at room temperature for 3–4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
