Ever since we got this recipe from a friend of ours, some twenty years ago, this has been our go to recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are simple to make and freeze beautifully. They are great for a school snack. We love keeping a stash of them in the freezer for surprise, unannounced guests.
To make a healthier oatmeal chocolate chip version, you can replace the white flour with whole wheat flour.
For a fun, child friendly version check out our Rainbow Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Our favorite chocolate chips are Trader Joe’s Chocolate Chips.
We like using this scoop to form even and uniform cookie dough balls.
Using large baking sheets will save time in the oven. This is an amazing large baking sheet. They are also great for roasting vegetables.
