Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups dried goji berries
• 0.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dried goji berries, rolled oats, and dark chocolate chips (if using) using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
