Easy Cookie Recipe

• Nothing beats a simple and classic-style chocolate chip oatmeal cookie! These cookies are slightly crispy but still soft.
• The ingredients to make this recipe are pretty simple. These are everyday ingredients many people already have in their pantry.
• These chewy cookies are similar to my chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but with fewer oats. I used old-fashioned rolled oats which add great texture.
• Extra chocolate chips make these the perfect treat to cure a sweet tooth craving.
• These are perfect cookies to serve for a school bake sale or holiday cookie exchange along with our double chocolate chip cookies, and these colorful mini M&Ms cookies.

Recipe Ingredients

• FLOUR: All-purpose flour works best for this classic cookie.
• OATS: Old-fashioned oats will give you the best results (versus quick oats or instant oats). I love to use sprouted rolled oats.
• CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can use semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate, chocolate chunks or white chocolate chips.
• SUGAR: For best results, this recipe uses a combination of white sugar and brown sugar.
• BUTTER: Unsalted butter needs to be softened at room temperature before you start the recipe.
• OTHER: You’ll also need baking powder, baking soda, salt, egg and vanilla extract.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

1. Mix together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cream butter and two sugars with an electric mixer. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
4. Fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
5. Drop cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet. Bake until edges are golden brown. Place on a cooling rack. Let cool, serve and enjoy!

Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter or fridge for up to 1 week. These cookies also freeze well! Just add to a freezer bag, remove as much air as possible and freeze up to 3 months for maximum freshness.

Recipe Tips

• Use room temperature butter for this recipe for the best results. I like to leave my butter on the counter overnight the day before I’m baking.
• Use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the baking sheet. That way you’ll get more evenly shaped cookies.
• Once baked, the cookies will be very soft and delicate. Using a metal spatula is the easiest way to scoop them off the baking sheet and onto a wire rack to cool. Once the cookies cool they will firm up enough to handle.
• This great recipe will make two dozen cookies. I like to store them in an airtight bag in the freezer for more extended storage and freshness. The cookies will thaw in about 10 minutes.
