Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 325 grams
  • 3/4 cup quick oats (60 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder 5 grams
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3 grams
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 gram
  • 1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar 263 grams
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 69 grams
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 4 ounces
  • 1/2 cup salted butter room temperature, 4 ounces
  • 3 tablespoons honey 63 grams
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 10 grams
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ยบ Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with non-stick baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup quick oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the sugars, shortening, butter, honey and vanilla. This mixture will be grainy, but the butter should be evenly mixed. 1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable shortening, 1/2 cup salted butter, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Add the eggs and mix well. 2 large eggs
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in all of the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, then half of the chocolate chunks. 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • Scoop out the cookie dough with a 2" cookie scoop. I like to make each cookie dough ball about 70 grams (1/4 cup) each which makes a nice size cookie like the restaurant has. Place the dough balls 3" apart on the prepared sheets. Press a few of the last 1/2 cup of chocolate chunks into the top of the dough balls.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the cookies are set. If the cookies are smaller than 70 grams each, you'll bake them for less time. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If you don't have a kitchen scale, lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Don't pack the flour into the cup.
