Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? Yes, please! This past weekend I baked a batch up. A little something about them brings back more of those special memories of my sweet momma. I can remember her always making cookies when I was growing up and oatmeal raisin cookies were her specialty. Simple, charming, in the old fashion way. So easy to make!

My mom made her oatmeal cookies with raisins. I switched things up and used chocolate chips since

Mr. M is not a fan of raisins.

Made with old fashioned rolled oats. Soft and chewy and packed with rich chocolatey goodness.

Where Can You Find the Recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies?

There are recipes everywhere for oatmeal cookies. I just happened to find and use the recipe on the lid of the container of Quaker Oats.

What You Need

Gather a few pantry basics.

  • Butter – Salted or unsalted, your preference.
  • Brown Sugar – Packed
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  •  Vanilla Extract
  • Chocolate Chips – I used Mini Semi-Sweet
  • Oatmeal – You can use Quick oats which, I am told, bake quickly and offer a more delicate texture. I used rolled oats. They are also ideal for baking if you want to add a chewy texture. They are interchangeable with old fashioned oats which have a hearty, earthier texture.
  • Flour – All purpose.
  • Baking Soda – Baking soda gives these cookies their rise.
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt – optional
