Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
This is my mom's recipe for the most amazing chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! They have crisp edges, chewy middles, are loaded with semisweet chocolate and get finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar - her signature - which makes them taste warm, homey and extra special.

Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ¼ cups rolled oats
- 2 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Notes
- I originally called for sifting together the flour and baking soda (as per the video), but no longer find it necessary.
- This step is optional, but I find the cookies come out even better after the dough has chilled. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours, or up to 48 (overnight is best) before baking.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These cookies are best when fresh so I recommend freezing the dough in balls and baking them straight from frozen when ready. Add 2-3 minutes to the baking time when baking from frozen.
