Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brewer’s yeast
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., shredded coconut, chopped nuts, dried fruit)
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, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brewer’s yeast, ground flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and any optional mix-ins of your choice.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
