Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted 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 chocolate chips: dark chocolate, semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 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.
Notes
Do not scoop the flour out of the bag with a measuring cup-this can compact the flour and results in a dry cookie. Shake or stir the flour to loosen it then use a spoon to add the flour to the measuring cup. Once full use a knife to level the top.
Do not overcook the cookies, they are done when the edges are set and golden brown.
For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
These cookies freeze well either before or after baking. To freeze the dough, roll into balls (a heaping spoonful: about 1.5 tablespoons) and freeze on a plate or cookie sheet. Transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can use parchment paper if desired to keep the dough from sticking. To bake from frozen simply extend the baking time for 2-3 minutes. To freeze the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies after baking, simply place in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
