These oatmeal chocolate cookies are some of my favorite cookies of all time. They are chewy, yet remain slightly crispy on the outside. Hope you love them!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Time: 1 1/2 hours
Yield: about 70 cookies
Recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up!
1 C butter softened
1 C shortening
1 1/2 C brown sugar
1 1/2 C white sugar
4 eggs
2 t vanilla
1 t water
3 C flour
2 t baking soda
2 t salt
2 t baking powder
1/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t cinnamon
4 C oatmeal (quick cooking or regular)
4 C chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi sweet, I like the milk)
1. Cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar. Cream the mixture well, now! I would get to creaming this buttery bliss for about 4 minutes. Add your eggs and beat for 2 minutes more.
2. Add your vanilla and water and mix just until combined.
3. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients (all but the chocolate chips) together with a wooden spoon.
4. Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture and stir to incorporate. Add your chocolate chips, give them a stir to incorporate and you are good to go.
5. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a sprayed cookie sheet.
6. Bake at about 350 degrees for 8 minutes. (For convection ovens bake at 325 for 6 1/2 minutes). Don’t over bake my friends! When your cookies have cracks down the middle, take them out and let them finish cooking on the pan for about 3-5 minutes.
Then…..yum.
Yum-balina.
Scum-diddlie-umtious.
Swell….real swell!
SO glad to see this recipe of yours finally posted! They truly are a piece of heaven with every bite!! ~Loves
Yum! Oatmeal cookies are my favorite, yours look so yummy! I'd be tempted to switch out the chips for raisins 🙂
You are tempting me to whip up a big batch of cookies! Shame on you….the diet was going so well until I read this post! Maybe if a make mini cookies I could sample a few?!?
These cookies look SO TEMPTING!!! I love the soft middle. Goodness!!
P.S. The aprons are for women only?
Jamie,
I just love your blog and your delicious recipes.
thanks so much…keep them coming
I am baking these amazing cookies as I type this comment. I did swap out the chocolate chips for butterscoth & added coconut (I had about a cup just sitting in my cupboard, begging to be added). These are my new favorite cookie. SO good, I may just have to hide them from myself in the bottom of the freezer!
Thanks for the recipe, Jamie!
Tha’ts the best answer of all time! JMHO
Always a favorite!
SO I stumbled onto your blog, and my name being Jamie (spelled correctly) I was automatically sold. All of your recipes look so amazing and your ties with the lion house recipes making them better for the rest of us, amazing. But I really wanted to tell you that my husband's favorite cookies are oatmeal chocolate chip, however I have always just tried to add oatmeal to a chocolate chip recipe, they're always hard and not very good. This recipe was perfect. I love them, he loves them. Thank you for sharing your recipes!
