Chocolate chip cookies and milk. I think my son could eat his nine year old weight in them he loves them so much. Last year, we had an experiment to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie and found one that we both loved. I turned them into chocolate chip cookie brownies and even used them in my recipe for chocolate chip peanut butter doozies that will knock your socks off they are so delicious!
But then, just a while back my husband told me he really preferred a chewier chocolate chip cookie. So our adventure started again.
We spent afternoons in the kitchen mixing, tasting, baking, and grinning from ear to ear.
It’s a tough life testing chocolate chip cookie recipes, isn’t it?
But a mighty delicious one at that.
Who would have thought that the cookie my family loved the most as a “chocolate chip cookie” has oatmeal in it?
But from one taste of the dough, we knew this recipe was different.
If you like your cookies to be crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside with the perfect combination of sweet and a little bite of salty then this cookie recipe has your name on it, too!
Cream your butter
Add in your brown sugar
And then your granulated sugar.
Mix together until light and fluffy.
Mix in your eggs
And yummy vanilla.
Vanilla just makes everything taste better.
Mix in flour
And then the secret little ingredient – oats.
Yum, yum, yum!
Now, add in sea salt.
Believe me, you definitely want to use sea salt in your chocolate chip cookies.
Divine!
Throw in your baking soda and mix well.
Now toss in your chocolate chips and mix them in well.
Scoop dough onto cookie sheet and bake for about 8-10 minutes just until lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and watch them disappear.

I’ve got coffee and no cookie to dunk — these would be perfect right this minute! They look delicious.
Oh man, Maureen! You need to make these when you have plenty of coffee for dunking!
slightly cripsy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I will teach your son how to eat his weight in cookies. I’ll bring the chocolate milk!
If he hears you are bringing the chocolate milk, he’ll throw a party when you get here!
Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies have been a favorite in our family for so many years I can’t recall when we started making them. My kids never loved nuts in their cookies, I missed that extra mouthfeel of something beyond plain dough and the chocolate chip cookie seemed to be our ‘meet in the middle’ solution.
Probably didn’t hurt that with the ever present issue of high altitude baking that the oatmeal in the dough help saved me from having totally flat cookies!
I haven’t had them in years and am now craving some..albeit WITH nuts. Oh how crazy rebellious is that?
That’s very rebellious, Barbara! I’m right there with ya though, toasted pecan bits would be heavenly!
I love adding oatmeal to cookies. These look great!
Thanks so much. Just a bit of oatmeal does takes these cookies over the top!
These look perfect for dunking! Happy Baking!
Happy baking to you too, Karriann!
I love the idea of hiding some healthy oats in the chocolate chip cookies. well done!
The combination of the slight crunch and chewy inside can’t be beat in my book. YUM!
Thanks for the tip about the sea salt!
You are going to love the addition of the sea salt, Amy! Ah-mazing!
Oh, chocolate chip cookies are my absolute FAVORITE!!! These look divine!
Love the combination of flavors with adding oatmeal to the mix. Looks delicious!
i am just gonna . . . sigh . . .
These would get me a clean house. Everyone would want one so bad they would be willing to pick up!
I just love me a good oatmeal cookie. And chocolate too? Sign me up!
Those cookies look perfect! Perfect!!!
These are one of my all time favs!
Made these they flew out of the cookie jar!! And I have request from my kids to make more!
I made these the other day with a friend. I also added some pecans (about 1/2 a cup) roughly chopped. They were great!
I made various sizes and even wrapped some up for a friends birthday…his girlfriend said later he didn’t really eat cookies, but took one bite and then polished 2 (large) cookies off.
Will definitely make these again
Awesome recipe. I cut it in half for a smaller batch & they all came out perfect. I used Belgian dark chocolate that I cut up into chunks. I also used steel cut oats instead of the quick cook oats. These cookies are deelish! Thanks for the great recipe.
Yum! I’m so glad you enjoy these. I hope you have a great weekend!
