A few days ago my boys were having one of those rare days where everyone was getting along well and all of our homeschool work was getting done with minimal fuss-it was amazing. Usually at least one of them will be cranky or give me push back but on this glorious Tuesday we were totally finished with our work by lunchtime-that never happens! As a reward I gave them free time while I whipped up a batch of one of my very favorite types of cookies-oatmeal chocolate chip! When I called them downstairs they were so excited and my oldest (who is 8) told me they definitely needed to “go on the blog!” That’s a high compliment from him! So, at his insistence, my very favorite, soft and chewy, oh so delicious chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats
- 10 oz dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a stand mixer (affiliate link) combine sugars and butter. Blend until uniform. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Remove bowl from mixer and add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix by hand until just blended-over mixing will cause your cookie to flatten while baking. Add oats and chocolate chips and stir until combined-dough will be very thick! Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
