Yummy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I'm sooo glad I didn't cut the recipe in half when I made these for Christmas! This is the best and only oatmeal cookie recipe I'll use from now on!!! The ground up oatmeal in this recipe gave the cookie a better texture and helped hold the cookie together vs any regular chocolate chip cookie or oatmeal cookie. These cookies don't spread much at all (which I like because they result in a nice thickness!) so you have to shape/flatten them into rounds before you bake them or else the balls you bake will have a rounded top (unless that's what you're going for). Once I mixed up the batter I divided it into quarters and made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, chocolate butterscotch chip pecan oatmeal cookies, red and green M&M oatmeal cookies, and cranberry white chocolate walnut oatmeal cookies. Everyone loved these but especially the cranberry version. I love this recipe!

The only thing I will do differently next time I make these is to cut the recipe in half. With 4 cups of sugar, 4 cups of flour and 5 cups of oatmeal it was almost more than my Kitchen Aid bowl could hold and I ended up with over 10 dozen scrumptious cookies. I didn't have quite enough butter so I used Crisco for 1/2 cup of the butter requirement. I was also short by 1/2 lb for the chocolate chips. I don't believe these changes had any negative effect on the final product. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. Made for Veggie Swap 38. An update on this review: I've now made a half recipe of this wonderful cookie substituting raisins for the chocolate chips as per DH's request and it's still a fantastic cookie. It's definitely staying in my favourites cookbook.

Now these are some YUMMY Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! I love that they are packed full of flavor and have a perfect texture. I did take half and froze them and pulled them out over a month later and they are wonderful (I used a vac-pac sealed bag). So very glad I tagged these in Photo Tag.

I just made it, they're really really good! I made 1/3 of portion and around 25 small cookies came out. I used a bit less chocolate chips but I added walnuts. If I had to change anything, I'd put slightly less sugar but that's a personal preference. I mean those cookies are perfect! And one more thing, don't keep them too long in the oven, they will become crunchy (that was my mistake) rather then melt in the mouth... Thank you for the recipe, I will freeze some just to see because I've never frozen cookies!

Super yummy cookie and enjoyed by all! I used a 1 1/2" inch greased cookie scoop and although I reduced the yield significantly, ended up with twenty five cookies. Let the cookies rest a solid ten minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or else they will fall apart. Once cooled, they flatten more. The cookies were slightly flattened before baking, too as per the suggestion of another reviewer. A few butterscotch chips replaced the chocolate chips and I skipped the nuts because I didn't think the younger children would like them. Will make again soon replacing part of the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips. Thanks for posting. I really liked not only the taste but the texture was superb. Everyone was fooled when I informed them that the cookies were oatmeal *and* chocolate chip!

OMG LifeisGood. These are the best oatmeal cookies ever. We really enjoyed them, the texture was perfect, the flavor of the cookie was outstanding and it complimented the milk chocolate chips beautifully. I gotta tell you, we shared the cookies with my brother and with our neighbors, they all came back asking for more. My brother even took the rest with him when he left for home to share with his wife. The only change I made to the cookie recipe was to leave out the nuts, as my dh is allergic. Thanks for sharing a recipe that I have placed in my Favorites of 2011 Cookbook, kudos to you.

I really liked this recipe and got compliments from others on it as well! Pretty sure it will be my go to oatmeal cookie recipe in the future. I did halve the recipe and didn't use the nuts. Be sure not to over-bake as they easily get dry!

This is the perfect recipe! My son has declared this his favorite cookie, and my co-workers raved about them. The only change I made was to use one bag (12 oz) of semi-sweet chocolate chips and one bag of butterscotch chips, because that's what I had. 32 oz seems like an awful lot of chocolate chips anyway. I also added a small bag of chopped walnuts. Yummy!!

I used margarine instead of butter. I didn't pulse the oatmeal and the cookies had a great texture. These cookies have a wonderful taste. They're crispy. Thanks LifeIsGood :) Made for the Australian recipe swap for March 2011

My husband loves you! Anyone who gives me a chocolate chip recipe to prepare is a Queen in my hubby's eyes. These were really good, as evidenced by the lack of cookies on day 2. Both Dh and BIL were in heaven. They were eating them right from the oven LOL. I am making more today and will try to get a pic. I almost posted the one of them eating away to their hearts content. I like the oatmeal addition for "health" reasons. LOl Thank you. made for AUS/NZ Swap 50

Definately need a stand mixer for this one but it is worth digging it out for. Did some changes, only used 2 - 270 g. pkgs of milk chocolate chips as my family likes them better. Used a # 20 scoop and baked at 350 F. for 20 mins. This is the 3rd time I have made these do not know why I didn't rate them earlier. Great Cookie.

Excellent. I added the nuts and some Toffee Bites, but other than that made as written, making half the recipe. Very good cookie. :)

OK, I'm going to get a little emotional here over a cookie recipe! After a rough day of losing my patience with my three boys who are 6, 5 and 3 1/2, I decided to suck it up and make these cookies with them. While making them, my 3 yr old, who was standing on a chair, wispered to me "You're the best mommy!". After the dough was made, he took a few tastes and kept saying "These are yummy!" And he was SO right! The funny thing is that he didn't know the name of the recipe. Thanks for a great recipe that helped end a not so good day on a great note! And, with three boys, I'm so grateful that it makes so many cookies! :)

Dad and I made these for our church's weekly Kids' Club. It made at least six dozen, so we froze some for later weeks, ate some at home, and sent some to Dad's work. They're terrific and everybody loves them. Made for PAC.

Fantastic cookies - I love the texture the two forms of oatmeal imparts. I made 1/2 the recipe, and got 5 dozen cookies out of it mine were "normal" sized cookies. I didn't flatten them at all, and they came out perfect. I look forward to trying this recipe with different add ins, such as cranberry white chocolate! Thanks for posting, LIG!

Ditto to the reviewers wonderful comments. Simply the best! I am so pleased that it does make a large batch, helps keep Grandma's cookie jar filled a bit longer. I got 87 cookies. followed the recipe with no changes, perfect! A new found favorite. Thanks for sharing

Made for KK's Cookie Exchange Event. Darn what can I say? These cookies deserve more than a simple 5 stars. I made some with nuts and some without. My DSIL took some to his work to share with his co-workers. These almost caused a riot when some of the people wanted more and they had run out...therefore, a second batch was made and sent to work today. Thank You so much for a real winner in this chewy and delicious recipe.

Very good cookies! We loved them. I did a half batch and wish I had done the whole batch. My family is inhaling them very quickly. Thanks, LifeIsGood!

Wonderful! These are *AWESOME* cookies! I made a 1/2 batch, but next time I'm going to make the full recipe and freeze 1/2 then when I'm hungry for a great cookie I'll have these made up! Thank you for posting this great recipe! I will be making these often! Made for KK's Chef's Pick Tag
