Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies – A fun spin on classic oatmeal cookies made with chocolate chips and just a few other simple ingredients.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies are such a classic.  Whether you like them with raisins, cranberries, or any other mix-in, they are always a favorite for all! One of my absolute favorite ways to make oatmeal cookies is by adding chocolate chips to them.  It really makes it such a great combination of both an oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip cookie.

Now you can really use any type of chocolate chip or chocolate chunk in this recipe whether it is a basic chocolate chip, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, etc.  It’s just up to what you prefer best.

Common Questions About Making Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

What kind of oats should I use?

I suggest using old fashioned oats but you can substitute them for quick-cooking oats.  Please don’t use steel-cut oats, the cookies won’t turn out correctly.

What other mix-ins can I put in oatmeal cookies?

Some other fun varieties of oatmeal cookies include –

• Apple Oatmeal Cookies
• Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
• Cherry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies
• Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
• Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
• Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Why are my oatmeal cookies hard?

You probably baked them a bit too long.  The key with cookies is that they continue to bake once they are pulled out of the oven so while you don’t want to pull them out as raw cookie dough, you do want to keep in mind that they will crisp up a little still.

4. Scoop cookie dough into balls that are about 2 tablespoons worth of cookie dough before placing on the lined sheet pan, leaving about 2" of space on all sides so that the cookies can expand. Repeat with remaining dough.
