Today’s tried and true recipe is from King Arthur Flour – Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! These are the BEST chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I’ve ever made. They are soft and chewy with a crispy edge, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and nutty oats. Chocolate Chip Cookie perfection. Bonus, they can be made gluten-free too.

This cookie recipe was King Arthur Flour’s 2015 recipe of the year. My sister sent me the recipe a few weeks ago, they have been her go-to chocolate chip cookies for the last year or so. Being married to a cookie monster, making the same chocolate chip cookies for decades, I was ready to try something new. Two glasses of milk and six cookies later, my husband said the recipe is a keeper! He still loves my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, but these were a tasty, welcome change.
I followed the recipe to a T, as directed. When it’s recipe of the year, no tweaks are needed.
Pour yourself a tall glass of cold milk and grab few cookies…enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

The only chocolate chip cookie recipe I use…Perfection! Thx!
Best cookies ever..I have been making them for years..delish!
Would love to have metric measurements
If you follow her link to the King Arthur website for the baking instructions, it will give you the metric measurements.
These look divine! I can’t wait to try them!
Thank you for sharing the 42 count yield using your medium cookie scoop. Based on the baking powder, soda, and salt, it looks like there’s about 3500 mg. sodium in the recipe. So I can really gauge that, was wondering how big your cookies turned out. Thanks for your reply.
Need oven temperature and baking time please. Thanks
I just made some and I set the oven to 375 for 12-17 minutes . It depends on the size and the crispness you want . I left them for 14 minutes. Also depends on where you live check oven temperatures for the area you live. I live north cal so that temperature worked for me .
Need an OVEN time and for how long to bake the please.
Judi, in her post it tells you to go to the King Arthur Flour website to baking directions. She provides the link.
