Skip the wait and whip up a batch of warm, chewy, and irresistible oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in under 30 minutes. Packed with rolled oats and your favorite chocolate chips, this recipe is sure to become your new go-to for satisfying those cookie cravings.
In a mixer with a paddle attachment, cream softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinammon, and salt. Stir in the old-fashioned oats and the chocolate chips.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Portion the dough with a large cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons). Place the cookies 4 inches apart on your baking sheets. Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers will look soft but firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use old-fashioned whole rolled oats, not quick oats, which results in a chewier cookie. Quick oats are thinner, and you don’t get the same texture.
Take the cookies out just as the edges are golden brown. They'll firm up as they cool for those irresistible, fat, and chewy cookies!
