This fantastic oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe crosses the chewiness of oatmeal cookies with the chocolaty goodness of chocolate chip cookies. I’m telling you these cookies are the best of both worlds!
This recipe is super straightforward, uses simple ingredients from the pantry, and makes a nice big batch. They also have hint cinnamon- not as much as cinnamon cookies, but enough to compliment the chocolate chips. These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are always a big hit wherever I serve them!
Try the chocolate chip cookies that started it all! My toll house cookies are everything the originals were and even more! Prefer a bakery style cookie. My chocolate chunk cookies deliver and I promise they will not disappoint! And my Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies have an amazing texture that never disappoints!
Let’s bake these!

Notes + Tips
Crispy vs Chewy: These cookies are designed to be chewy. The brown sugar, oats, eggs, and butter all bring moisture to the party.
- If you want to make a crisp, you can increase the baking time.
Butter: Please only use real butter and not margarine. Margarine doesn’t have that wonderful flavor, has more water in it, and the texture will be different.
Oats: You’ll definitely get the best results with quick oats. If you only have old-fashioned rolled oats on hand, blitz them in the food processor. It will help them cook faster and give your cookies a better texture. Check out my old fashioned Oatmeal Raisin cookies next!
Storing + Freezing + Make-Ahead
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? These cookies can be kept in the fridge for a week. I store them in a resealable 1-gallon bag.
- Can You Freeze This? This recipe freezes beautifully! You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 8 months. If you’d prefer to freeze the dough, it will freeze for up to 6 months.
- Make-Ahead Tips: You can make this dough up to 2 days ahead. Simply spoon out and bake when you’re ready for them!
- Food Safety: Here’s an article citing how long freshly baked cookies last, and here’s one regarding the cookie dough.

My daughter loves oatmeal scotchies so I substituted the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips. The recipe is easy to make and very tasty, but I definitely needed to bake these longer. I baked them at 375 for 11 minutes and that yielded a cookie that was chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Yum!
Hey Jennifer. I literally just posted a recipe for oatmeal butterscotch cookies, aka, Scotchies. I hope you check them out!
These are my families favourite cookies (and I don’t even mind making them cause it’s so easy) thank you
Thank you so much, Ereka! 🙂
