Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy, moist and almost healthy with the addition of oatmeal, these cookies have been a family favorite for decades.  When my grandson comes to visit, we bake cookies and these are usually his pick!

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
  1. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
  3. Add flour, oatmeal, soda and salt and mix until well blended.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips (and nuts).
  5. Drop dough in large mounds (ice-scream scoop works great) onto greased cookie sheet.
  6. Flatten mounds slightly.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

  20. This is a great recipe. It is my go-to for oatmeal chocolate chip. They are the best for being soft, but not raw! I find that's hard to find in a recipe. I tried substituting the chocolate with cranberries the last time I made them though, and they turned out a bit salty... Not sure what that was all about.

  21. Any ideas why my cookies spread out? Is it the way I mix them?

    1. I often refrigerate my cookie dough before putting in on the pan and baking them. I find they keep their shape better than when the dough is at room temperature. (Bev)
