Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Recipe

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
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 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.
