– 1 tsp baking soda
– ½ tsp salt
– 2 cups Quaker old-fashioned oats (not instant, for a chewier texture)
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor)
– ½ cup caramel sauce, thick store-bought or homemade, for swirling
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. Tip: Scrape down the bowl sides halfway through to ensure even mixing.
3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4. Mix in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until just combined.
5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt.
6. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet butter mixture, mixing on low speed until no flour streaks remain, about 1 minute. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
7. Fold in 2 cups Quaker old-fashioned oats and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
9. Drizzle ½ cup caramel sauce lightly over the top of each dough ball, then use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the surface. Tip: Don’t over-swirl to prevent the caramel from sinking too deep during baking.
10. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but still soft. Tip: Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning.
11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chewy from the oats, gooey with chocolate, and swirled with sweet caramel, these cookies are a textural dream. Serve them warm with a glass of milk for ultimate indulgence, or crumble over ice cream for a decadent dessert twist.
