Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect healthy Oatmeal Cookies, filled with chocolate chips, baked to perfection and perfect with a glass of milk! Your new favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies.
It has been more then 30 years since I last visited Winnipeg, Manitoba. But every time I make or eat these Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies I remember the first time I tried them in my wonderful friend’s kitchen in Winnipeg.
I lived in Winnipeg for 1 year, and oh my goodness those winters are certainly harsh! so I guess it felt reassuring to have those Chocolate Chip Cookies close by.
And believe me these are the best. I rarely use that word unless I believe it and my oh my I can never get enough of these cookies.
They aren’t your average Chocolate Chip Cookie, they might actually be healthier than the majority of recipes out there. I really like them not only because of the amazing taste, but because they are on the thicker side which I really prefer to the thinner cookies.
I made these on May 1st in Italy (a big National holiday here.) We got together with friends for our first bbq of the season and these were one of the desserts I brought.
I usually make a Cake or a Loaf of some sort, Cookies I usually keep for Christmas. But I thought what the heck, these are so good (the best), I will let them try these.
And they loved them! I even had to go back home and translate the recipe that day it was that requested.
So if you want a fast, easy, delicious and don’t forget thick cookie without having to refrigerate the dough, then these chocolate chip cookies are just what you are looking for.
Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Believe me you won’t be able to stop at one. And don’t forget a nice big glass of cold milk or a hot coffee or tea to accompany a cookie or two, and besides with all those oats they can’t be that bad, right? Enjoy!

I am planning to make these. Do you use softened butter or cold butter? I’m assuming it’s softened so it can be mixed easily. Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Karen, yes soft or room temperature and yes to mix easier. Let me know how you liked it. Have a great weekend.
Nan says
I made these cookies and i measured the ingredients and everything…They came out like one big blob …melted down to a big flat pancake. I was very upset because i was making these for a cookie exchange! I think I will have to freeze the dough before I cook them! I quadrupled this recipe! What to do?! Helllllpppp! Please?
Rosemary says
Hi Nan, well I really don’t know what happened, because they are a favourite and always turn out. So after googling to find out about quadrupling a recipe I discovered that your problem could be the baking soda, here is the link http://www.thekitchn.com/8-things-you-need-to-know-before-doubling-a-cookie-recipe-226141. Hope that helps. Let me know.
Nan says
Thanks Rosemary for your research and suggestions. I did end up remedying my dough by adding more flour, brown sugar,oatmeal and an egg. They turned out delicious. I don’t know if the reason they were so melty had to do with the fact that I used some butter made in Ireland…perhaps their butter is creamier than what we get here? Any way they came out great and I’m ready for my cookie party! Happy Holidays to you!
Rosemary says
Hi Nan, so glad to hear that! And Happy Holidays to you too. 🙂

These are delicious ! I lost this recipe years ago. Now the cookies are cooling on the counter and I’m wondering where to hide them from the kids.
Rosemary says
Hi Cathy, glad you like them, you can hide them anywhere I won’t tell! Have a great weekend.
