Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies

Dark cookies with light and brown sugars, quick oats, Dove dark chocolate chunks, and topped with coarse sea salt.

These Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies are a delicious blend of sweet and salty flavors, with creamy chunks of Dove dark chocolate and chewy oats. The dough is made by creaming butter with light and dark brown sugar, then adding an egg, vanilla, and a touch of salt before mixing in flour, baking soda, and quick oats. Formed onto a baking sheet, the cookies are sprinkled with coarse sea salt and baked at 375°F until golden around the edges but soft in the center, delivering a perfect balance of chocolatey depth, chewy texture, and a hint of crunch.
