Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups carob chips
- 0.5 cup rolled oats (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. If adding rolled oats, mix them in at this step.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the carob chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden while the centers remain slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
