Step-by-Step Instructions for Levain-Style Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, continuing to beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional dark chocolate chunks.
  7. Portion out roughly ¼ cup of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden-brown edges are visible while the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
