Today’s tried and true recipe is from King Arthur Baking Company – 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 Baking Company’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.
**King Arthur Baking Company credits the original recipe to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer non-profit. Thank you for such a wonderful cookie recipe and all you do. 🍪❤️**
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!

I wonder if reducing the sugar will affect the baking process? It’s amazing when you cut back on sugar, how great things taste.

I try out a LOT of recipes and this one is delicious! Make sure you use real butter as no substitute will be the same. Also make sure you cook them long enough to get golden on the outside so that they have that bit of a crunch! Oatmeal cookies are so much better when they ere on the side of having them slightly overcooked than undercooked so that the oatmeal on the bottom tastes crispy and nutty!

I make these, but I blend the oats into a powder/flour with my food processor, and add it in. So yummy
Mel
I made these today. They were just okay.
Micheline

So yummy! I followed the recipe with no changes. Perfect cookies with crispy edges and soft middle! And the oatmeal adds nutty flavor to the cookie! Everyone loved it!

Very good! I made as directed with the only change being I used mini-chips as I prefer them in general. I did put batter in fridge while pan of cookies were in the oven. The cookies came out perfectly shaped, no spread here. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
