There’s a reason why oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are one of the most popular types of cookies around – they’re delicious! These cookies are soft and chewy, with a great balance of flavors and textures. Plus, they’re easy to make, and everyone loves them, so let’s get baking!

Why you’ll love these tasty cookies

  • Homemade cookies are SO much better than store-bought!
  • If you’re budget-conscious, then batch cooking will save you money.
  • Soft and chewy, they’ll become a firm family favorite, and you’ll become a cookie legend!
  • All the ingredients are 100% vegetarian and vegan.

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked cookies. And when those cookies are oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they’re even better!

When we made our double chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate chip cookies, we just knew that we needed chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies to join the ever-growing collection of cookie recipes!

What ingredients will I need?

You’ll need all the ingredients shown in the photograph.

Ingredients needed, baking soda, salt, egg, brown sugar, butter, flour, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, chocolate chips, and rolled oats.

Try them with ice cream

Imagine warm cookies topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

You’ve got to give it a go; they are SO good!

What are the best chocolate chips?

There are a lot of different chocolate chips on the market these days.

So, what makes one brand the best?

Some people might say that the best chocolate chips are the ones that melt the least when baked.

Others might say that they prefer a chip with a strong chocolate flavor.

In general, we think the best chocolate chips are those that have a good balance of sweetness and chocolate flavor.

They should also melt evenly as you bake, so you don’t end up with pockets of solid chocolate in your cookies.

There are a lot of different brands of chocolate chips on the market, but our personal favorite is Ghirardelli.

Their chips have a great flavor, and they melt evenly in baked goods.

Do I need to chill the cookie dough?

Yes, you do.

You’ll need to chill them for one hour before baking.

The reason you chill the cookie dough is so the fat content solidifies.

This in turn means that the cookies won’t spread as much.

These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies aren’t designed to be giant cookies, so please do chill them.

What equipment do I need to make cookies?

Apart from the staple kitchen equipment of a mixing bowl and a baking sheet, you’ll need the following.

A stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer.

Yes, it’s possible to still make them without either, but it just makes life a lot easier if you use them.

You’ll need parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to stop your cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.

We prefer to use silicone baking mats as you can wash them and use them repeatedly.

How do I store leftover oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?

Oatmeal cookies can become stale if they are not stored correctly, so it is important to know how to store them properly.

One way to store cookies is to put them in an airtight container. This will keep them fresh for up to 4 days.

Another way to store cookies is to freeze them.

Freezing will keep them fresh for up to 3 months.

If you freeze your cookies, make sure you wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil so that they don’t get freezer burn.

If you are cooking frozen dough, then add an additional 5 minutes (give or take) to the cooking time.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Out of old-fashioned oats?
    At a pinch, you could use one-minute oats instead.
  • Line your baking sheets
    Cookies can stick if you don’t use prepared baking sheets, line with parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Add extra
    Why not add a few chocolate chips to your cookie dough before putting it in the oven?
  • Nuts; Love nuts?
    Why not add some chopped nuts to your cookies?
  • Size doesn’t matter
    You can use giant chocolate chips, regular size, or even mini chocolate chips in your cookies.
  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 3 months.
