Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies blend the hearty texture of rolled oats with rich dark chocolate chunks and a balanced sweet-salty flavor. The dough is chilled before baking, which helps maintain shape and develop flavor. Baked to tender edges with a soft center, these cookies deliver a comforting classic taste with a touch of sea salt for contrast.

Ingredients

Dry Mix:
  • 3 cups rolled oats old-fashioned
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Wet:
  • 1 cup butter melted, unsalted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate chunks chopped (I chopped mine because they were sort of big, or chips
  • sea salt such as Maldon or Jacobson, as garnish, flaky

Instructions

To Make the Dry Mix:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
To Make the Wet Mix:
  1. In medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Pour the butter/sugar mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Lastly, fold in chocolate chips. Stick in fridge for 1 hour to chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F. Scoop out 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and roll them between your palms; place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet spacing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 min, until they barely turn golden brown around the edges. Sprinkle with a few pinches of salt. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack. These are best eaten warm with milk.

Notes

  • Chill cookie dough for at least 1 hour before baking to improve texture and shape.
  • Use flaky sea salt as a garnish after baking for enhanced flavor contrast.
  • Cookies bake best at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until edges turn light golden brown.
  • To freeze dough, follow specific guidance to maintain freshness for later baking.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet briefly before transferring to a rack for even cooling.
