Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 egg
2 Tablespoons water
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups (10 ounce bag) chocolate chips, dark or semi-sweet

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, egg, and water until combined.
1 cup butter, softened, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 2 Tablespoons water, 1/2 cup cocoa powder
To the same bowl add the flour, baking soda, salt, oats and chocolate chips. Mix ingredients until a thick dough forms.
1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats, 2 cups (10 ounce bag) chocolate chips, dark or semi-sweet
Using a 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie dough scoop, form the dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of cookies are just set and a little hardened to the touch. The inside of the cookies will still be quite soft. Be careful to not over bake them.
Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet after 5 minutes and allow to fully cool on the baking rack. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week (see notes).

Notes

Baking Tips - These cookies will become dry if overbaked. Bake until the cookies are puffed up and the top is slightly hardened to the touch. They will still be very soft on the inside, but will continue to bake and set up as they cool.

Storage Tips - These cookies can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. When storing at room temperature, add a cookie stone (brown sugar saver) or slice of bread to help the cookies to stay soft.
