Ingredients
Method
Spread oats onto rimmed baking sheet; bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy. In separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the oats, the flour, cornstarch and salt; stir into butter mixture just until combined. If necessary, knead gently to form smooth dough. Stir in chocolate.
Roll by rounded 1 tbsp into balls. Gently press 1 side of each ball into remaining oats. Arrange, oats side up, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in 325°F (160°C) oven until edges are light golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on pans.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: These cookies are very soft when fresh out of the oven, but they harden as they cool.
Makes about 24 cookies.
