Main Ingredients Needed
Lot’s of common ingredients in this ingredients list, which means you could probably make these amazing Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies today! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Salted Butter – I use and prefer salted butter for all my baking. However, if you prefer unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1 teaspoon.
- Brown Sugar – to sweeten with that slight molasses taste.
- Granulated Sugar – to sweeten.
- Eggs – this helps add structure to the cookies.
- Vanilla – delicious flavor!
- Rolled Oats – it wouldn’t be an oatmeal cookie without oats! I recommend using old fashioned rolled oats.
- All-Purpose Flour – this fills out the cookies.
- Baking Soda + Powder – the leavening for the dough.
- Salt – to balance out all the flavors.
- Chocolate Chips – I used semi-sweet regular sized chocolate chip cookies but I also love using mini chocolate chips (for evenly distributed chocolate morsels).
How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I use a tried and true, traditional method for making cookies! For full details on how to make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, see the recipe card down below 🙂
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Pans
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line light-colored baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Step 2: Make Cookie Dough
Cream butter together with brown sugar and granulated sugar.
Add eggs and vanilla to the bowl. Whip until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and stir again briefly to ensure it’s evenly mixed.
Slowly incorporate dry ingredients to create cookie dough. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
Step 3: Bake and Cool
Scoop onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets using a 3 tablespoon scoop and bake until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are puffed but still slightly soft-looking.
Cool for a couple of minutes on baking sheets before transferring to cooling racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Want Smaller Cookies?
I used a large cookie scoop to create larger cookies, but feel free to use a 1 tablespoon scoop for smaller cookies. Bake 7-8 minutes at 325 degrees F.
How I Keep My Cookies Soft
The best method for storing and keeping cookies soft is to store in an airtight container with a piece of bread. I find that plain white sandwich bread works best for this and a gallon sized Ziploc bag. That way, your Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies can stay soft for days!
