Thick & Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello again everybody… hope everybody in our Lone Goose Community is doing well and ready to bake! I’m taking a quick break from our 2024 Fall Recipes to write a recipe post for one of my fave recipes that can be enjoyed year round… these Thick & Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies | Full Recipe Video

Earlier this year, I started making videos for all of the recipes that I post. I like to place them here (at the top of the page) for all of our readers that are in a hurry and prefer video recipes. This video helps bring this cookie recipe to life, and it includes visual hints, tips and details that aren’t included in the formal written portion of the recipe below.

This video allows you to see the cookie dough as it is being created and mixed, and it records the finished cookies from multiple angles. We are very far from expert bakers, but I hope our passion shows. I recommend watching this video while following along with the written recipe.

This is a standard sized cookie dough recipe, and it makes roughly two dozen cookies. You can easily double or triple this recipe to make enough cookies for larger gatherings… or maybe you just want some extras 🙂

INGREDIENTS

• ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
• 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
• ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 Large Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• ½ tsp Salt
• 2 ½ cups Old-Fashioned Oats
• 1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (recommend “mini” size)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F  and prepare your (2) baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Grab a large mixing bowl, and cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with a handheld or stand mixer. Cream until light and fluffy, which should take 2-3 minutes.
3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
4. Grab a separate medium mixing bowl, and combine flour, baking soda, and salt by whisking.

7. Use a cookie dough scoop or large spoon to add rounded balls of dough (roughly tablespoon sized) to the prepared baking sheets. Space them roughly 2 inches apart
8. Bake @ 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft and chewy.
