Ingredients
  

  • 11 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips (1 bag)

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie Scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light corn syrup, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the quick cooking oats, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing.
  6. Fold in the milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil.
  • Brown sugar can replace granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
