TheBakingPan Recommends: The BEST instant read thermometer I’ve used for cooking and baking; the ThermoWorks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is incredibly fast,
accurate, and well worth the investment. I use my Thermapen Thermometer for checking room temperature ingredients, tempering chocolate, baking bread, making pastry creams, sugar syrup, caramel, and candy, cooking meats and fish, and deep frying. Thermapen Thermometer available here.

Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk (preferably whole milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Baking sheets may be ungreased, lined with parchment paper, or lined with a non-stick baking mat.
Dough:
- In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugar; cream together until mixture appears light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly. Add egg; beat until thoroughly mixed. Stir in milk and vanilla. Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir until mixed. Add oats and chocolate chips; stir to mix.
- Bake: Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet three minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets with a metal spatula and place on a wire cooling rack to cool.
Tip: An ice cream scoop is ideal for making uniform-sized cookies.
