Why make these cookies

I've never met a cookie I didn't like and these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are at the top of my favorites! Whip up a batch of these cookies in almost no time at all using ingredients you already have in your pantry and refrigerator. 

Oatmeal cookies traditionally have raisins, but the unexpected is sometimes delicious. I've added chocolate chips to these cookies. You just can't go wrong with a little extra chocolate.

These cookies are crispy on the edges and soft in the center and with bits of chocolate in every bite.

Whip up a batch of these cookies in almost no time at all and you'll have your first tray out of the oven in under 30 minutes!

Key ingredients

Ingredients for making oatmeal cookies.
  • Oatmeal - old fashioned oats work best in this recipe
  • Flour - all-purpose flour
  • Butter - salted butter
  • Brown sugar
  • Chocolate chips - milk chocolate, but dark chocolate would work too!

Step by step directions

  • Cream butter and sugar together
  • Add eggs and vanilla

  • Fold in oats and chocolate chips

Tips for making cookies

  • Use softened butter
  • Mix well between each addition of ingredients
  • Scrape down sides of bowl to make certain all ingredients are well mixed
  • Preheat oven before baking
  • Do not grease your baking sheet
  • Use a small scoop to keep cookies the same size
  • Cool cookies for 2 minutes on baking sheet. Then move cookies to a baking rack to continue cooling.

Recipe Faqs

How do I store these cookies?

Allow cookies to fully cool on a baking rack. Gently stack cookies in a cookie jar or an airtight container. Cookies are best eaten within 3-4 days.

Can I freeze these cookies?

Yes, these cookies can be frozen! Place cooled cookies in a freezer container or a freezer bag. Place in a freezer for up to 3 months.

To use simply remove from freezer and allow to thaw.

    Now this is my kinda cookie! I love oatmeal cookies, but Laura has always complained that oatmeal raisin cookies are a waste of a cookie. I've always disagreed...vehemently! But now we can have the best of both worlds. Oatmeal cookies for me with chocolate chips for Laura!
