chewy oatmeal cookies

Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies made with rolled oats and semi-sweet chocolate chips. A simple, one-bowl recipe that yields soft, flavorful cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until fully combined.
  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon mounds and place 2 inches apart. Gently flatten slightly for thinner, oat-forward cookies.
  7. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges look set and lightly golden.
  8. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1–2 minutes.
