Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (330 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (reduce to ½ teaspoon if using salted butter)
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter or salted butter, softened (114 grams)
  • 8 tablespoons shortening (96 grams)
  • cup granulated sugar (65 grams)
  • 1 ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar (275 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons tablespoons Lyle's golden syrup (40 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses (20 grams)
  • 2 large eggs (100 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¾ cup oats, quick and old fashioned (70 grams)
  • 2 cups mixed milk and dark chocolate chunks Use about ¾ dark and ¼ milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you are making the dough ahead of time and chilling it, skip this step (recommended).
  • In a medium size bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • With an electric mixer, beat softened butter, Crisco, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the golden syrup and molasses. With mixer on low, add the eggs at a time, beat until well blended. Beat in the vanilla.
  • By hand, or if using a stand mixer use the paddle on low, stir in the flour mixture, followed by the oats and chocolate.
  • Using a large cookie scoop or just a big spoon, scoop or spoon up about 16 large rounds of dough. They should weigh around 78 grams each. Arrange them on a dinner plate, then cover and chill. Bake one or two rounds (or bake them all) immediately.
  • Bake in a convection oven at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cookies start to appear lightly browned and cracked. Alternatively, bake in a Ninja Foodi air fryer at 300 for 16 minutes. You can also bake in a Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven using 250 degrees F and 20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. And finally, baking in a regular oven is fine too. All ovens vary, so try baking at 350 degrees F. for about 15 to 18 minutes and adjust heat if that doesn't work.
