Magic Cookies
Delightful cookies featuring a blend of oats, chocolate chips, and nuts, creating a nostalgic treat loved by all.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats This is the base of your cookies, giving them structure and heartiness.
- 1 cup Butter, softened For that irresistible rich flavor. You can use coconut oil for a dairy-free twist.
- 1 cup Brown sugar Adds moisture and a deep caramel note.
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Balances the flavors.
- 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides the cookie’s body.
- 2 large Eggs Acts as a binding agent. Flax eggs are a great vegan alternative.
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda For that perfect rise.
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder For that perfect rise.
- 1 cup Chocolate chips Choose dark, milk, or a mixture.
- 1/2 cup Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) Gives a fantastic crunch and flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them appropriately.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain chewy.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Notes
To achieve the ideal cookies, focus on the baking time. Overbaking leads to crunchy cookies, while slightly underbaking yields a chewy result. Creaming the butter and sugars properly is crucial for incorporating air.
