These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are what I grew up on and we all love them. I think my mom probably got them off the side of the Quaker Oats box but I’m not sure. They freeze well, too. (And even taste good frozen!)
I recently upgraded my wire racks for cooling things like cookies to some that have crosspieces. They are so much better!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
A good chewy oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups oatmeal
- 1-2 cups chopped nuts optional
- 1-2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Cream the butter. Mix in the sugars and beat well. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the flour, salt and baking soda (sprinkling the salt and soda around so it’s not all in one spot) and mix. Stir in the oatmeal, then mix in the nuts and chocolate chips.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets and press down with a wet drinking glass (or your fingers) to flatten. Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- Options: Add 1 cup peanut butter with the sugars. Use chopped peanuts if adding nuts. Or substitute raisins for the chocolate chips.
