Yes, this is another cookie recipe. I told you I’m addicted! Not much to say about these because they are just this recipe with chocolate chips instead of raisins. Ben declared these as his favorite cookies the night I first made these. (Here’s a hint: He says that about every cookie I’ve made lately!) Flattering, but proof that he’s easy to please. 🙂
I think these are best eaten right out of the oven. Just don’t burn your tongue. Instead, let them cool for at least 5 minutes then go ahead and indulge while the chocolate is still melted. Yum! You can also turn them into sandwich cookies, which is another one of Ben’s faves!
*Recipe update 3/17/11: I cut the cinnamon down from 1 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon and loved the turn out. Recipe reflects this new measurement below.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375°.
In a large bowl beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla with a hand held mixer until well blended. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in rolled oats and chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto a cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes and remove to wire rack to cool completely.

January 20, 2011 at 6:05 PMI’ve never made oatmeal choc chip cookies! I’m usually on a peanut butter or M&M kick! But these look good – You always make the perfect shaped cookie!
Vicki says
January 20, 2011 at 7:35 PMI want to make these, but I’m convinced I’ll eat them all and ruin my ambition to eat better and lose weight… 🙂

January 24, 2011 at 8:56 PMYou know, I’ve thought many times about subbing chocolate chips for the raisins, but I’ve never done it. Thanks for the inspiration.

January 25, 2011 at 2:52 PMMaybe I was just in the mood for something sweet, but I baked these the other day and they were FANTASTIC! We’ve been devouring them. Thanks for posting this! Yum!!

October 25, 2011 at 1:36 PMI just made these today (found the recipe on Pinterest) and they were the best cookies I have ever had!
mary says
December 10, 2011 at 5:30 PMI made these cookies and they were quite awful. Sorry.
Nikki says
December 10, 2011 at 8:22 PMMary, so sorry to hear that! This is one of my favorite cookies. What was so awful about them?
Marie-Ève says
March 2, 2012 at 5:23 PMI am making these as we speak and I actually mixed the oats with the butter mix, will that change my cookies?
Nikki says
March 3, 2012 at 10:17 AMHi Marie-Eve,
I’m guessing I’m too late in responding, but I don’t think I would’ve been much help anyways. My best guess is that the cookies will be fine, but might be a little different in the resulting texture, but not enough to ruin them. How did they turn out?
Larni says
March 6, 2012 at 2:48 PMI was wondering if you’ve ever made these as bars instead of individual cookies?
Nikki says
March 6, 2012 at 3:24 PMHi Larni,
No, I have not.
miki says
March 27, 2012 at 9:21 AMjust made these cookies last night and they are amazing! thanks so much for posting this recipe 🙂
Nikki says

Meredith MacDonald says
June 17, 2012 at 11:14 AMI have made this recipe of yours countless times, and I’m baking it now as I type for my dad 🙂 I added some Skor toffee bits I had leftover in my baking cupboard. They smell amazing. This is a great recipe and I thank you for sharing it 🙂 Delicious cookies every time!
Nikki says
June 17, 2012 at 2:47 PMThanks, Meredith! What a great idea to add toffee bits! 🙂
amanda says
September 20, 2012 at 2:16 PMhi, i’m making these right now- the batter is amazing and i added dried cranberries! yummo.
Nikki says
September 20, 2012 at 9:42 PMYum! Love dried cranberries!
Kelly says
October 29, 2012 at 3:19 AMI followed this recipe to the letter and didn’t get the same result as the one in the picture. I think the oats are too much! Maybe next time, I’ll use 1 1/5 cups oats and ditch the cinnamon and nutmeg.
Leah Cusick says
November 23, 2012 at 3:19 AMMade these the other night, they turned out lovely. Added a couple handfuls of raisins and some walnut (those are actually pretty technical measurements for me, lol) they’re absolutely delish! And I love that they stay nice and soft, oatmeal cookies should never be hard, if you ask me!
So, thanks for the great recipe!
kelly says
April 21, 2013 at 7:32 PMThese did not work for me, I tried twice and both times were a fail. They tasted pretty bad, they stuck to the bottom of pan really really bad and I tried different ways of preventing it, flat….
ash says
June 29, 2015 at 9:58 AMHave you tried using parchment paper?
Julia says
August 30, 2013 at 3:44 PMMade these today and they’re fantastic – my 3 kids all love them! I followed the recipe exactly as it is. Thank you!
Nikki says
August 30, 2013 at 4:00 PMThanks for your feedback, Julia! Glad the kiddos enjoyed them, as well! 🙂
