You know my great love for chocolate chip cookies, since I have lots of different chocolate chip cookie recipes and have improved upon my original classic recipe several times, until I found the best of the best Chocolate Chip recipe here. Trust me–it’s the BEST classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, hands down!! But sometimes, I feel like an oatmeal cookie but still want some chocolate and that is where this recipe for Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie comes in.
Who can resist the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? These delightful cookies are a favorite for all ages, and today, I’m excited to share my tried-and-true recipe for chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. With the perfect balance of oats, chocolate, and that satisfying chewiness, these cookies are sure to become a family favorite
The trick, is DO NOT OVERBAKE these cookies and let them set on the cookie sheet until fully cooled. You must TRUST ME on this! We always freeze the extra and I catch my boys eating them straight out of the freezer, not even bothering to defrost them first. YUM! Most of my family does not like nuts, I think they are crazy because personally I LOVE nuts Adding pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts would be fantastic, in my opinion!
I hope you have a great weekend and find time to make these wonderful cookies! You won’t regret it!
Tools used:
Gold measuring cups (I love these–so pretty)
