Today we’re mixing big chewy oats with lots of butter, brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and… glorious chocolate chips.
Use this perfect oatmeal cookie as the base for other add-ins such as raisins, dried cranberries, and nuts. Cinnamon and a touch of molasses add that little something extra. These are the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I especially love this recipe because the process is quick & simple– minimal dough chilling!
You will need the following
Ingredients
- 75g wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 75g oats
- 50g brown sugar
- 75g butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- chocolate drops as many as you like
Method
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
- Sift the flour into a bowl. Mix in the baking powder, porridge oats and sugar.
- Melt the butter, syrup and milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave and stir.
- Add to the dry ingredients. Mix until the liquid covers all the oat mixture and until well combined.
- Spoon onto a baking tray and shape into rounds, leaving space between each biscuit as they will spread whilst cooking.
- Bake for 10-15 mins, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins before removing from tray.
These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have a slightly crisp edge with a soft centre and enough chew that they won’t immediately break when you bend them. A “slow bend cookie” as I like to call them– and this is what makes a regular oatmeal cookie a really great oatmeal cookie. They’re also:
- Super soft and hearty.
- Supremely buttery and flavorful. Using more brown sugar than white helps guarantee a more flavorful base.
- Super chewy thanks to old-fashioned oats. Thick old-fashioned whole rolled oats, not quick oats, guarantee a chewier cookie. Quick oats are thinner and more powdery; you don’t get the same texture.
- Loaded with extra chocolate chips! I like to use both regular-size and mini chocolate chips. This guarantees more chocolate in every single bite. And for my fellow raisin lovers: try subbing in half raisins with the chocolate chips.
BEST COOKIE EVER!!! Better served with a cupa!
