Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

I have a new favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe! True story: I was raised to make fun of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. True story: Isaac was raised to make fun of oatmeal raisin cookies. That pretty much sums up our marriage.

This recipe was adapted, using the comments, from here.
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons (seriously!) vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used part whole wheat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 3 mins. I have a cookie recipe that has you do this so I always do it when making cookies. It seems to do something.
  2. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, and chocolate chips.
  4. Put them in the fridge for 2 hours or so. I dont know why but I made one pan worth and they spread too much, then I decided I didnt want to make all the cookies that min and I remembered a review saying to do this. The rest came out absolutely perfect!
  5. Bake for 12 minutes at 325 Let them sit for a bit. They get cooked more and then they dont fall apart.

  1. Looks like a good recipe! I love oatmeal chocolate chip! One thing I totally agree with is to use quick oats. I learned this the hard way--since Adam and I prefer to eat oatmeal made out of the traditional oats, I had these on hand and used them in cookies. However, because they are bigger and you aren't boiling the heck out of them, they make a less than ideal texture for the cookie. I still ate them, but the quick oats are better, now I know!
