Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick cooking oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 whole eggs

Chocolate Mix-ins

1 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350º F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature by the time your dough is ready.
Combine dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the flour, quick cooking oats, baking powder, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later.
Cream fats and sugars: Using an electric stand mixer, beat the softened butter, vegetable shortening, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add wet flavorings and eggs: Mix in the honey, vanilla extract, and then add the eggs one at a time, beating until well incorporated each time.
Incorporate dry ingredients: Slowly add the flour and oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure everything is well mixed.
Fold in chocolates: Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips and about 1 cup of the chocolate chunks, reserving some chunks for topping.
Shape cookies: Scoop balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. For large, bakery-style cookies, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup per cookie. Top each cookie with the reserved chocolate chunks for added texture and visual appeal.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set. For smaller cookies, reduce baking time to about 9 minutes.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set perfectly and prevents breakage.

Notes

Using a combination of butter and vegetable shortening gives these cookies a perfect chewy texture and rich flavor.
Quick cooking oats add a subtle chewiness without overpowering the cookie’s soft texture.
For best results, do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
Adjust baking time depending on cookie size; larger cookies take longer to bake through.
You can substitute chocolate chunks with chopped chocolate bars if preferred.
