Dulce Delish Choco-Oat Cookies

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Josephine Oria

Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? They are so easy to make and their smell alone while baking can lighten the mood in any household. I pack these cookies with oatmeal; it creates a much heartier cookie that holds up well when dipped in a glass of cold milk. You won’t be able to eat just one!

Makes 2 dozen large cookies; Prep time: Active: 45 MIN.; TOTAL: 1 hour

10 ounces 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (two sticks)

3/4 cup original dulce de leche

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/4 cups unsifted flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups oats, uncooked 

Preheat oven to 375°.  Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat butter with dulce de leche and brown sugar at medium speed until mixture is creamy, light in color and has a fluffy, airy texture.  Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Mix on low speed until incorporated. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Drop tablespoon-sized amounts onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Allow to cool on wire racks.
