1. Whisk together the oats, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2.Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, cookie butter, sugar, and brown sugar until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add the egg, and mix for about 1 minute.
3. Turn off the mixer and add the oats mixture. Mix on low speed until there are a few streaks of the oats mixture still visible in the dough. Mix in the chocolate.
4. Cover the dough tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
6. Wrap the base of a flat-bottomed jar in plastic wrap. You’ll use this to flatten the cookies before baking.
7. Use a tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the dough.** Roll each portion into a ball, and place them on the prepared pans. Leave about 2 inches between the cookies. Flatten each cookie with the wrapped jar.
8. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm around the edges with the centers still soft. Cool on the pans for 3 or 4 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool and firm.

Notes: Chocolate chips will work, too, although the chopped chocolate is definitely my preference for these cookies.
**The original recipe references using a “small cookie scoop” (but not the specific size) or portioning by rounded teaspoonfuls. If you make them that size, expect about 50 cookies from the recipe.
