Ingredient Breakdown
Let’s dive into all the goodies you’ll need to whip up these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! Grab your shopping list ’cause you’ll want to make sure you have everything on hand.
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
Step-by-Step Instructions
So, let’s get to it! Here’s how to make these irresistible Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
1. Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s hot and ready for those cookies. Seriously, the smell of fresh cookies baking is worth the wait!
2. Cream the Sugars and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes of vigorous mixing. You’ll know it’s ready when everything looks like a soft cloud of deliciousness!
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. If it smells amazing right now, just wait!
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. There really isn’t any beating around the bush here, just mix it until well blended!
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined; it’s totally okay if a little flour is still visible, just be sure not to over-mix! You want it all to come together without gluten forming a chewy texture.
6. Fold in Oats and Chips
Now fold in those rolled oats and chocolate chips. Oh, the textures! Try to be gentle here too because you don’t want to break those delicate chocolate chips.
7. Scoop the Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. I like to use a cookie scoop, it makes it so much easier and gives them a uniform shape.
8. Bake and Enjoy
Pop them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. You want to take them out while the centers are still slightly soft, trust me, they will continue to cook a bit on the sheet!
9. Cool and Serve
Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, you know, enjoy them warm, the best part is when the chocolate is still gooey!

These cookies are loaded with tons of flavor! The combination of brown sugar, oats, and chocolate chips creates a deeply satisfying experience, one bite and you’ll be hooked.

Serving & Storage
How to Serve These Cookies
These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are perfect on their own, but if you want to take it up a notch, consider serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It makes for an amazing dessert that everyone will go crazy for.
Storage
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, if they last that long! Most often, they disappear within days in my house.
Reheating
If you find yourself with leftovers (you might!), simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to revive that fresh-baked warmth.
Freezer Friendly
Yes, these cookies are freezer friendly! Just freeze the unbaked cookie dough in balls, then transfer to a ziploc bag. When you’re ready for cookies, just bake them straight from the freezer for a couple extra minutes. Perfection!
I really hope you give these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies a try! They’re not just cookies, they’re an experience filled with love, warmth, and nostalgia, right out of my kitchen to yours. Whether you’re whipping these up on a cozy evening or packing them for a picnic, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
