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!
Cheers!
Well have to say despite the positive reviews, I couldn’t even taste the oats. I triple checked all my measurements. Found the cookies lacking in flavor and was disappointed. Glad others were happy though! 🙂
Your cookie picture sure doesn’t look like theirs. What’s up with that? Yours looks yummier, by the way.
Do you have a cook book on your recipes we can buy?
So disappointed. I was just about to make these cookies when I realized the link to the directions no longer works
Sorry about the broken link – it’s fixed now.

This is my new go to recipe…..cookies come out perfect every time. Cookies receive 2 thumbs up from recipients. Thank you for the link.
I’m going to make me some. They really look goodShirley
I have made this recipe so many times and they are amazing! BUT the last 3 times I’ve made them they have come out completely spread and melted on the cookie sheet. I haven’t changed a thing – recipe, ingredients/brands, followed to a T. What is going on?!
Hi Alivia,
My guess is your baking powder and/or baking soda are expired. If that’s not it, check out these great tips:

Flavor was awesome but mine ended up being super tough. Like I count commit murder with these. Could I have maybe over baked them?
Something definitely went wrong. Sounds like a measurement issue, possibly too much flour or over-baking, Yulya. These cookies are soft.

I added the whole two eggs, salted butter and left out the salt, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chocolate chips, an extra 1 or half cup of oats, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Plus only put 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Amazing cookies. Will use often.
These cookies are the best cookies I’ve made in a long time!!! Made exactly like the recipe but I only had salted butter… SO Yummy!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
My cookies spread🍪😫 What did I do wrong? I followed to a tee,
You didn’t put the temperature to bake these cookies
This would be a great treat for my friend who is 100% gf! What ingredients and how much of it to turn it into gluten free .
I am really intrigued by this cookie recipe and will probably try it. How ever we rarely have rolled oats so I am wondering if you have ever used steel cut oats. I would like to know your feelings.
Hi Roger – Check this out. It depends on what texture you want your cookies. “Old-fashioned oats have been cut,steamed, and flattened with large rollers. Steel-cut oats are not as highly processed and look like tiny pellets. They produce a more al dente result.”

These look fabulous, I have eaten these cookies at the VT store at KAF and would love to make them after being reminded how good they are from your blog. Your photos look a bit different than the ones on the KAF website. I wonder if you used quick or old fashioned oats? Thanks.
I used quick oats, Teresa, and used a medium size scooper, so they are a good size, more chunky.
Oh wow these cookies look so delicious I love the texture. I’m pretty sure that I can taste them.
There are few things that beat a really good chocolate chip cookie. I can’t wait to try these!
temp & how long to bake ?
Bake at 325 degrees f, on middle rack of oven for 12-17 minutes (baking time depends on size of cookies).
Making these soon. They look FAB.U.LOUS! My mom always made chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal…my favorite! Thanks for sharing this recipe. XO
