Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are an all-time classic cookie. These yummy oatmeal cookies are chewy and have lots of chocolate chips in them. They go perfectly with an ice cold glass of milk, or a nice hot beverage. I hear Santa likes them, too!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are the best of both worlds. Crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside. They also have a lot of chocolate chips in them, which is always a good thing!
What I like the most about this cookie recipe is that it has everyday ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are also versatile. You can change up the additions. Try dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, dried cranberries, raisins, or whatever you like!
Tips for the best cookies
- Use softened unsalted butter, but not too soft. Think of a ripe avocado consistency.
- Eggs at room temperature will give a better result.
- Be sure to use quick cooking oats.
- A 2 Tbsp scoop will give the perfect size cookie. If you use a smaller or larger size scoop, you will need to adjust the baking time.
There is nothing like a soft and chewy cookie, in my opinion. These are so delicious!
This recipe makes a big batch of 3 dozen cookies. You can make even more by making smaller cookies, but in my opinion, this is the perfect size.
An all-around favorite oatmeal cookie that will work for any occasion, any time of the year. They make wonderful Christmas Cookies!
