Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

The only oatmeal cookie recipe you will ever need! Soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies loaded with oats and chocolate chips!

A stack of cookies

I’ll admit that oatmeal cookies are not usually high on my list of cookies. I usually prefer the traditional chocolate chip cookie, or peanut butter chocolate chip, or Nutella chocolate chip.

Do you see a pattern here?? I think we can agree chocolate chips make everything better.

But, the reason I generally stay away from oatmeal is the dreaded raisin.

You know what I’m talking about. You think you’re biting into a perfectly chewy and delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and then you bit into a raisin.

It’s the worst. WORST.

Clearly I am not a raisin fan, never have been, likely never will be. I don’t mind the flavour so much as the texture. Why ruin a perfectly good cookie with chewy, gummy raisins??

Close up of chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

I know some of you will vehemently disagree with my raisin aversion and insist that it’s not a true oatmeal cookie without the chewy suckers, but that’s ok.

Thankfully these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies can be made with either raisins or chocolate chips and be just as delicious. Heck go crazy and add some nuts while you’re at it!

I’ve remixed these cookies a few times already with pecans and dried cranberries (NOT the same as raisins), caramelized apples, and turned them into cookie cups.

These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies here though… they’re delicious.

Like, SO. GOOD. Perfectly soft and chewy, just the right amount of oats (they are quite loaded with oats, but that’s how I like them) and chocolate with some sea salt thrown in for good measure.

Using sea salt in cookies is my favourite thing to do!! Just swap out regular salt in your cookie recipe for flakey sea salt and prepare to be amazed.

It adds such a delicious kick to cookies and those salty bites only help to enhance the sweetness.

If you like really soft and chewy cookies, make sure not to over bake them!

They’re done when the edges are lightly browned and the center still looks very unset. They will continue to cook and firm up once you take them out of the oven.

What is Chocolate Bloom?

I can’t go through this post and not talk about the bloom on my chocolate chips. It has been HOT and HUMID here and in a west facing, no a/c apartment, it’s practically unavoidable.

You’ve likely noticed this on chocolate at some point in your life. White streaks of either fat or sugar caused by heat and/or moisture. If you were to eat a piece of chocolate like this, you’d notice it had more of a grainy texture to it.

Not ideal and definitely not aesthetically pleasing, but thankfully the bloom has no effect on the flavour or texture of the chocolate chips once baked.

They are perfectly ok to use!

How can I adapt these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Next time I make these oatmeal cookies I think I’ll pass on the cinnamon. I’ve discovered that I don’t particularly like the combo of chocolate and cinnamon so I’d skip it and maybe add some walnuts or pecans for more flavour/texture.

If you prefer raisins in your oatmeal cookies, feel free to swap out the chocolate chips. You may want to start with 1 cup of raisins though, or if you’re a raisin fiend, go for the full 2 cups!

If you’re looking for a go-to oatmeal cookie recipe, this one is for you!

Notes & tips for the perfect chewy oatmeal cookies:

  • If you like really soft and chewy cookies, make sure not to over bake them! They’re done when the edges are lightly browned and the center still looks very unset.
  • If you prefer raisins, feel free to swap out the chocolate chips — you may want to start with 1 cup of raisins though and adjust to your liking.
  • I use sea salt in all my cookies. It’s a great contrast with the sweetness of the cookie. Feel free to use regular salt if you don’t have sea salt handy.
  • Chopped nuts can be added as well if you like. Customize to your heart’s content!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed

  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on med-high until pale and fluffy (approx. 3 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition, and beat on high for 1 minute. Add vanilla.
  • Turn mixer to low and add flour mixture, mix until combined.
  • Add oats and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined.
  • Chill dough in the fridge for an hour (optional, but yields better results).
  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.

    These are my new go to cookies whenever I need to bring dessert somewhere. Everyone loves and raves about them. They always turn out perfect except today. For some reason the last tray of cookies spread. I had refrigerated the dough an hour before baking. Do you think the dough could have warmed up too much in the 30 minutes it took to cook the other 3 trays?

    My family has made a similar recipe over 50 years with a few variations. It originally came from a family friend who won an national Quaker Oats contest in the early 1960’s with a grand prize of 4 days in NY City. Her recipe was on the classic Oats container for 20 years. There are differences in proportions with this recipe and no cinnamon. For the BEST cookies, use the highest butter fat content possible. In our area that means Amish butter. Use the best quality chocolate chips. For a difference in flavor use mini chips. Reduce the four by 25% for crispy cookies. Another one that works is half chocolate and half peanut butter chips.

    These have a good texture but they are way too sweet for me. I know that sugar is important to the structure of baked goods, so I didn’t mess with the amount, but maybe the combination of brown plus white plus so many chocolate chips is over the top? I don’t think I’d make these again.

    Reply
    • Olivia says

      December 17, 2020 at 4:22 PM

      Hi Darlene! I just use regular rolled oats. The cookies will be quite thick but should spread. If they are too thick and not spreading then it’s possible there is too much flour. How do you measure your flour? I always recommend spooning flour into the cup and levelling it off rather than using the cup to scoop it. The latter can add too much flour to a recipe.

    I love this recipe. It’s my go to oatmeal chocolate chip recipe. Tried and true and I get asked to make these all the time.
    If you find cookies are falling flat, it’s probably too much butter or that your butter wasnt soft enough and didnt cream thoroughly with the sugars. Or, possibly because of not chilling long enough. I’ve done both of these because cookies make me impatient BUT they are best when I take my time.

    Tastes great and smell amazing while baking. My husband loved them. My cookies came out very flat, which disappointed me based on your photos and other reviews. In my oven I also had to bake for 15 minutes per batch + 5 min cooling time = 20 minutes per pan of cookies. I simply wasn’t expecting the time commitment, unsure what went wrong as I followed instructions…only thing missing is the optional cinnamon.

      Hi Christina! Strange that your cookies came out flat! The dough is quite thick and I don’t find mine to spread too much, especially if it’s chilled. Did you make any substitutions at all? And did you chill the dough? Only other thing I can think is that there was either too much butter or too little flour.

Once I scooped it on parchment paper I slightly flattened each scoop and baked it to perfection in 10 min. Thank you for this recipe!!

    Okay, these were AMAZING!!!!! I used oatmeal with chia seeds + flax seed already in the oats and it was still good. I cooked for 13 minutes because I used a bigger ice cream scoop. Such a tasty snack. I will definitely make again.

    Tried it today! And by far the best cookies I baked 🀣 Usually my cookies fall so flat. But this time, i really loved the finished product! Followed the exact same recipe as above. I chilled it in the freezer for 30min (already scooped in round shapes) and baked for 15 min at 176 Celsius. Thank you!

    I’ve made these 3x since finding the recipe! They’re SO good. They absolutely turn out best when refrigerated for an hour prior to baking. I also subbed maple for the vanilla and added pecans once and walnuts another time for a fall feel. My whole house loves these, they do not last more than a day!

    These cookies are fabulous, so definitely will make them again. May go with one cup chocolate chips, one cup raisins next time.

    I did find the baking time was a little longer in my oven. I made half a batch with egg replacer and they took closer to 15 minutes while the half batch with egg was closer to 12 or 13 minutes.

    Thank you for the fantastic recipe!

    This is it! The one! I used the cinnamon and a mix of chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate chips and they are PERFECT! My kids love them! My husband loves them!
    It makes, I feel, a pretty burley amount but they just don’t seem to last long enough at my house! I refuse to make a double batch or I will eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

    I’ve made another chocolate chip oatmeal recipe in which I whirl the oats first in a food processor so it’s like a coarse flour to mix with the white flour – would that work with this as well? That way it’s a smoother consistency in the baked cookie and my son doesn’t notice he’s eating oatmeal!

    Reply
    • Olivia says

      July 16, 2020 at 2:29 PM

      Hi Lisa! Haha, sneaky! I haven’t tried it with these cookies and worry that they might come out too dry — since it would be flour + basically oat flour. If they are still somewhat coarse it could be ok. I would give it a try with a small batch (you can reduce the recipe by adjusting the Servings). Let me know if you try it!

        It was an experiment all around – food processor not working so couldn’t process the oats, then I had about half old-fashioned and half quick oats which were already finer ground, so threw it all together and no one seems to mind! Really delicious!

      Hi Mariss! I think they do! But you need to chill the dough and use a small cookie scoop for best results. These cookies get rave reviews. I hope you try them. You can always reduce the recipe (change the Servings to be smaller) to test it out!

    Love this recipe – made a few modifications to improve the end result.
    1. Definitely use the cinnamon- add nice punch
    2. Add slightly less oats
    3. If using a ice cream scoop – flatten before baking to ensure not too much soggy middle
    4. Any combo of chips is good. I used 1/2 milk, 1/2 peanut butter chips – yum!

    Just made these yesterday and love them! I’ve been looking for a good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. I love oatmeal cookies but not a big fan of raisins or nuts in cookies. I followed the recipe almost exact. I left out the cinnamon. I also chopped up the chocolate chips. I love a little bit of chocolate in every bite vs one regular chocolate chip. I didn’t know how small of a scoop so I used a size 70 scoop. I’m thinking that was too small because I ended up with 90 bite size cookies. But they’re so good, I’m not complaining! Plus, I feel less guilty eating 10 of them if they’re bite size lol

    Will definitely be making a double batch and freezing some next time! These turned out delicious! Only complaint: There was a little bit too much chocolate in the written recipe– even for me! Just felt like the oatmeal flavor didn’t come through enough. I think next time I’ll try half the chocolate chips and maybe throw in some walnuts or slivered pecans. Otherwise, this was perfect!

    (Followed recipe, then cooked for 11-12 mins, sit on pan for 6 mins before transferring to counter)

    Bought a bunch of vanilla bean stalks from Costco, and I thought this recipe was just the right type to sub with fresh vanilla. IT WAS! The mix of chocolate, toasted walnuts, cinnamon and chewy oats has made this an absolute favorite three times running.

    They turned out perfect! Added raisins and didn’t have any unsalted butter so I used the salted butter and added half the amount of salt the recipe called for. Didn’t flatten out to much at all. Used a insulated cookie sheet to bake them on

    Delicious! It was very easy to make a half batch. I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks, added 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, and chilled overnight. My cookies did not flatten much at all, perhaps because of the added chill time and/or walnuts. I actually had to flatten and shape them into circles to get the amount of spread that I wanted! This was no problem though as I love a thick cookie. Here are the measurements for a half batch if anyone is interested:

    3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
    1/4 tsp sea salt
    1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
    1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
    1/8 cup (2 Tbsp) granulated sugar
    1 large eggs room temperature
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

    I found these baked flat and not pretty. I had added an additional tablespoon of flour but found they turned out better when I added an ADDITIONAL QUARTER CUP of flour.
    The flavor is great regardless but looks do matter in my opinion.

      Hi Lisa! Sorry to hear that. They should not flatten out too much. Did you chill the dough? It sounds like something was maybe off in the measurements.

    I’ve been looking for a recipe that had the right ratio of oatmeal and flour and this was perfect! I opted for all brown sugar, no granulated. I think it makes them chewier. Left out the sea salt and added raisins & coconut. I love all the flavors and textures together. I do t like nuts, but chopped up some walnuts to add in the last two batches for my family. They were a big hit! Perfect consistency, thanks!

    Great recipe! I opted out cinnamon too, only like to use in oatmeal if I’m doing with dried fruit and nuts vs chocolate. Also, I add 2 tsp honey to batter. Makes the cookies chewier and batter stays together when forming scoops on pan. Always a good added ingredient to cookie dough in my opinion.

    Made these tonight! Followed the ingredients to a T (except the cinnamon) and they turned out really well. The folks who have issues with hard cookies, flat cookies etc. must not be following the directions very carefully because I’m a very amateur baker and I did not screw these up lol. The ONLY thing I would change is perhaps to cut back on the chocolate chips a bit (found them a little overwhelming) and/or the sugar, probably the white sugar. It’s a very sweet cookie. I chilled the dough for about a half hour then used a heaping tablespoon sized scoop balled up and got 12 cookies to a sheet. I had to bake them for 12 minutes as I found 10 minutes left them a little too underdone. Once they cooled they were great! Firm but a little gooey in the centre. Next time I am going to try bigger scoops (maybe 2 tablespoons) for bigger cookies and see how that goes. I ended up with so much dough I could have easily made 36+ tablespoon sized cookies so I froze the rest in a roll for later. Thank you for a great recipe! From a fellow Canadian.

    I’ve been using your recipe since you published it. I should have made a review sooner but never seemed to have the time. I have made these cookies dozens of times with amazing results. Once the cookies didn’t turn out great; but I’m certain it was my fault. As so many people have said in the comments, these really are the best cookies in the world. If you’re looking to shake things up add some fresh raspberries to them for some chocolate raspberry action. Thanks again for the many years filled with now a family recipe.

    Oatmeal chocolate chip has always been my husbands favorite and I’ve struggled for 8 years to find the perfect recipe…..

    A few notes to others who didn’t experience cookie bliss…
    -Flour matters: not just measuring but making sure it’s all purpose
    -BUTTER! No substitutes for this. And I always make with Kerry gold Irish butter
    -My cookie scoop, not sure of size (flattened not rounded) made 42
    -don’t try to substitute light and dark brown sugar… the flavor is much different

    Happy baking and thanks again for this great recipe!

      These are amazing! I made them for coworkers twice in one week because they went so fast the first time. Tip: use all natural unbleached granular white sugar. And flatten the balls as they don’t spread much. I also added raw almond slivers to mine. Perfect. So perfect.

    Hi! Wondering how long the dough can be refrigerated? Would it be okay to sit for a few days, or would it get funky after that long? Or maybe it could be frozen?

        I made these cookies tonight and all I can say is wow! For years I made the recipe on the quaker oat box. I wanted to try something different. When I read your comments about raisons I had to laugh be ause my husband hates them. I knew I had to try these. They have more oats and less sugar and flour then my recipe. A good thing. I used half a cup of a truvia sugar blend which has brown sugar in it and half a cup of white sugar. They turned out very sweet. I used one and half cups dark chips. It was plenty. Yumny. Thank you. I am going to freeze some before my husband eats them all.

    I put my oats and raisins in a blender and pulse a few times. I’ve had multiple people say they hate raisins in their oatmeal cookies and with these they can’t even tell they are in there. Gives great flavor and chewiness without the texture of biting into a raisin. I also use milk choc chips and semisweet chips and pecans. Today I plan on experimenting with some ghiradelli caramel chips I found.

    Hi so this morning I made them, let them rest in the fridge for 1 hour before I formed them and put them on the baking dish. So after the hour was up I baked them and they were amazing I absolutely love them. I used crisco shortening instead of butter and worked really good. Used 1/2 cup of mini white chocolate chips and 1/2 of mini chocolate chips.
    Baked for exactly 10 mins and took them out of the oven and cooked crispy. I’ll make them again for sure this is my oatmeal cookie recipe πŸ™‚

    There is something wrong with this recipe. Three cups of oats is way too much–I thought the number sourced odd, so I put in two, but the cookies still were not able to spread and came out like balls of granola. I also found two cups of chocolate chips to be too much–1 or 1 1.5 cups would be better.

    The taste is awesome! I had to change the sea salt for regular salt and the rolled oats for quick oats. Not sure if my fridge cools things more than yours or if my oven is not as hot as it should be but I had to bake them for 20 minutes instead of the suggested 10. My kids loved them. I will make the recipe again and bake without putting the dough in the fridge and see if that makes a difference, they look different than yours once baked – I’m assuming because of the different type of oats?. Also I didn’t cream the butter first I just mixed it along with the sugar, not sure if I was supposed to? Anyway I will try it again and see if I get different results but the way they turned out my kids are still enjoying them πŸ™‚

      Hi Karin! Ideally you would cream the butter and sugar for a couple of minutes first, but there’s no need to cream the butter alone if its at room temperature. I’m so glad you liked these!

    In a word: YES. I, too, loathe raisins, but I love oatmeal cookies, which often leaves me eating around and/or picking raisins out of an otherwise delicious oatmeal cookie. So when I saw this recipe and read the author’s disdain for raisins, I knew I HAD to try these. And they’re perfect! I took the time to chill the dough (which I never do), and I’m glad I did. Even my super finicky husband ate these, which is a huge deal. Thanks for sharing!!

      Hi Lawren! You can totally freeze the dough, it will last for up to 3 months that way. I recommend scooping the dough into balls first, freezing them, then storing them in an airtight freezer bag.

    Just put these in the fridge, am anxious to try them. I tried the batter and ended up adding probably close to a 1/2 tsp. extra sea salt and 1/4 tsp. of penzeys cinnamon which is strong. I thought it needed just a little extra of something. Tasted again and was amazing, so can’t wait to see how they turn out. I plan on making them big as well because that’s how I love my cookies. So will try to bake for 14 mins. as another reviewer suggested.

    Delicious! I left out the cinnamon, added a handful of chopped pecans, and used mini M&Ms instead of chips, ’cause that’s what I had. I got the thick, chewy texture I was looking for–no flat, greasy cookies! I only own one Silpat and I found that the cookies baked on it spread significantly less than those baked on parchment. I’m definitely going to request another Silpat as a (hopefully early) Christmas gift – the difference in cookie shape is really remarkable. Thanks!

    These just came out of the oven and they are looking great. I followed the recipe but subbing Splenda for the white sugar. Somehow I ended up with 60 cookies! I’m not complaining! And that’s after eating many scoops of the raw dough as I spooned them out. πŸ˜‰ yum! My new go-to recipe. I may sub applesauce for half the butter next time as I usually tweak…experiment…with all my recipes.

    These are great. I made them very small, and they still seem like they’ll stay chewy for a while. I put in chocolate chips (semi sweet), craisins, chopped walnuts, and pecan halves. I don’t know how much difference the nuts made, but they made me feel better about it health-wise. πŸ™‚
    I was initially unsure about the cookie dough, as I found it overly sweet raw, but somehow they turned out perfectly when cooked. They really are better if you give them a few minutes to cool completely, so I recommend all the patience you can muster for these.
    A great recipe that I’m sure I’ll make again and again. Thank you!

    I subbed white “chocolate” for the chocolate chips and used some butter shaken from heavy cream and that was fine. Bread and cake flour for all purpose worked out good since there’s nothing to compare it too.
    I used an eight quart pot and the mix filled it almost to the top, hand stirring hurt my nail beds. πŸ™‚

    I took your recipe and added 5 chopped jalapenos , removed the seeds and membrane of course (too hot) as I made the cookies I let the diced jalapenos sit on a paper towel to absorb the juice. I folded them in at the last minute and followed the baking instructions, I used milk chocolate chips cause that’s what I had on hand. I took them to work and at first people were reluctant to try them but one bite and they were hooked! I MEAN hooked… they weren’t hot and just something different… wonder how it would work with brown sugar bacon? hmmmm Always looking for something new! thanks for sharing your recipe

      Hi Lindsey! You’ll be totally fine. Putting the cookie dough in the fridge helps reduce the amount that they will spread. So it’s possible you’ll have slightly flatter cookies than I did. That being said, this is a pretty stiff dough, so I don’t think it will be too much of an issue :). I hope you like them!!

      Hi Sarah! You can totally spread it in a pan and bake it. I’m honestly not too sure what size would work best as I can’t picture the volume of batter right now. I wanna say an 8×8 or 9×9 should work, but you don’t want them to be too thick either. I would start with one of those and if you have too much batter then scoop the rest? πŸ˜‰ Also, be sure to adjust the baking time if you’re putting them into a pan. It will need a bit longer, maybe 2omins or so. Let me know how it turns out!

    I have made these cookies 3 times in the last week. Each time I make them, I tell myself I am going to share with my neighbors and friends, but my son and my husband and I always eat them all!!! They are so incredibly the most delicious oatmeal cookies we have ever had. I think what I like best is I cut the cinnamon in half (I also do not like too strong of a cinnamon taste in my cookies) and I used sea salt flakes by chance the first time (it was the only sea salt I had) and they were fantastic. The sea salt flakes make just enough of a distinction, especially with the semi-sweet chocolate chips, that the cookies are simply perfect. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!

    So excited for your reply, I still have the dough out. Would flattening it in advance in to disks be harmful? They’re certainly not as pretty as yours anymore but mine just don’t seem to want to flatten out of their tiny haystacks…maybe it’s the old oven. Sad face.

    I was on a mission to replicate the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that I had discovered in a sandwich shop. This might be just perfect if not better!
    Perfect recipe, for my liking I used half the butter. They are thick and chewy just the right amount of sweetness too.

    To avoid the super thin, flat cookies. Throw your cookies dough into the freezer for 10 mins before baking and use a chilled sheet. They will come out perfectly round and thick.

    My recipe is very similar to yours. My sis-in-law gave me the recipe many years ago. My sons grew up eating these cookies. They loved them then and still do. My recipe calls for 1 tsp. of warm water and the sugars are 3/4 c each. I do use the cinnamon in my Oatmeal but not the Chocolate Chip and we like raisins in our Oatmeal Cookies. I just soak them in hot water while I am mixing up the cookies. I do think the pumpkin chips would be very good in either recipe. I am going to try your recipe, thank you for sharing!

I used a big cookie scoop (around 1/4 cup) scooped them and popped them in the deep freeze for around an hour. I used 1 cup craisins and 1 cup white chocolate chips. So good.

Now I could kick myself. Those chips would go with Oatmeal cookies any time. Every week my 4 year old granddaughter and I make cookies and when I saw this recipe on Pinterest I knew I had my cookie recipe for next week. Maybe I’ll go back and see if there are any left. There were only about 10 on the closeout shelf so I doubt it, but you never know!

    I am so with you! The best way to ruin a perfectly good oatmeal cookie is by adding raisins to it – just. NO.You’ve just reminded me of my love for oatmeal cookies. They are just so chewy and gooey and delicious and now I want a cookie!

      Agreed, now I want to try different variations, but none with raisins :D.

    I’m not a huge raisin fan either, especially when I think I’m having an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie only to discover as I bite into it that the chocolate chips are raisins (the horror!) , but in certain things, they work. For example, when they are soaked in rum and mixed into a boozy ice cream πŸ˜‰

      Ok, I might just have to try them if they’re served boozy in boozy ice cream. πŸ˜€

        Love the recipe. I substituted coconut oil for the butter and used dark chocolate chips so the cookies would be healthier 😊😜- Yum!!!

      Hello, I came across this recipe and I must tell you these are the BEST Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie I have EVER made! I followed your recipe exact and WE LOVE THEM😊I baked 2 batches to gift some to my Baby Sister and my Dad! Thank you so much! The hint of cinnamon makes everyone think…. Hmmm what is in these cookies? Refrigerating the dough & letting it rest I feel is key. Thanks Again!

      Sincerely,
      Karen

          Slightly deceiving to say the recipe takes 20 mins, when you have to put the dough in the fridge for an hour.

            You’re right, I’ll update the info. Chilling is optional, but ideal.

        I made this recipe twice and it is, by far, the best chocolate chip cookie that i’ve Made the vanilla pudding really does make the difference.
