Oatmeal Cookies
If you’re not an oatmeal cookie fan, I’m about to change your mind with this oatmeal cookie recipe. These cookies are packed with chocolate chips and oatmeal which make for a perfectly textured cookie.

What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you need to make the best oatmeal cookies at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.
- Butter– I generally use salted butter in my recipes, but unsalted works fine too.
- Granulated Gugar– This fine white sugar gives the cookies their sweetness.
- Light Brown Sugar– Make sure to pack your brown sugar when measuring in the measuring cup.
- Egg– For consistency, I use large eggs in my baking.
- Vanilla– For best tasting results, use pure vanilla.
- Flour– All-purpose flour is the main dry ingredient in the cookies.
- Quick Oats– Find quick oats in the baking section or cereal section of the grocery store.
- Salt– I use kosher salt for my cooking and baking.
- Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
- Chocolate Chunks– Chocolate chunks can be found near the chocolate chip section of the baking isle. You can also chop your own chunks with a large chocolate bar. Trader Joe’s has a great block of chocolate.
How To Make Oatmeal Cookies
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugars. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Egg and Vanilla. Add egg and vanilla beating until well combined.
Dry Ingredients. Slowly add flour, oats, salt, baking soda, and chocolate chunks until just combined.
Scoop Dough Onto Baking Sheet. With a large cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake. Bake for 14-15 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
Cool Completely. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips For Success
- Soften Butter Before Making Recipe. I like taking my butter out of the fridge a 3-4 hours before making the cookie recipes so it’s fully softened before starting.
- Stick To Recipe. Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- Try Refrigerating Dough. For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Use Real Butter. Always use butter, not margarine. ALWAYS. I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies. Try it!
- Don’t Grease Baking Sheet. Do not ever grease your cookie sheets. Will make cookies spread and change texture.
- Cream Butter and Sugars. Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 1-2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Add Salt. Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
- Don’t Over Bake. Don’t over bake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
How To Serve
Serve these oatmeal cookies for any occasion where a cookie is needed. They’re great for parties, bake sales, family gatherings, cookie exchanges and holidays!
How To Store Leftovers
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They can be left on the counter or in the refrigerator for a harder, chewier leftover cookie.
Freezing Instructions
To freeze cookies or cookie dough, place into an airtight container or freeze safe air tight bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
