  3. In another bowl, cream together butter + oil + white sugar + brown sugar, until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and beat well until mixed, scraping off the sides.
  5. Add flour little at a time until only combined. Stir in rolled oats and chocolate chips.
  6. With a small ice-cream scoop or spoon, add 2 tablespoons of batter on the sheet about 1 and 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Alternately you can refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes and then scoop the batter for taller cookies.
  7. Bake for 11-12 until the top is light golden brown. The cookies will look underdone but thats how it should be. It will firm up on the sheet. Slightly insert couple of chocolate chucks on the cookies. Let stand for 5 minutes and then transfer onto a cooling rack.

Recipe Notes

This cookie has just enough sweetness.

If you want you cookies to be on the more sweeter side, add 2 tablespoons of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
