Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love me some cookies. Seriously, the Cookie Monster should be my avatar! I once had his song "C is for cookie, that's good enough for me" as my ring tone. So as usual, I'm fiending for some cookies and coming up empty. I pull out my trusty FAT binder of recipes and waa-laa! found this gem tucked away among the soups and pastas. I really do need to organize that recipe binder but that is another story! :) Since it was snowy and cold out I knew that this oatmeal cookie with chocolate chip goodness would warm me right up!

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  •  1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
Pre-heat your oven to 350.

Are you ready??

In a large bowl you will  mix the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.


Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt.


Add the rolled oats.


And don't forget the chocolate chips!!


Mix the ingrediants well: scoop onto pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes.


Let them cool on a rack.


NOM!! NOM!! NOM!!

  1. Hi Peggy...I made these last night. A couple of things... my oven burned them at 350 for 20 minutes. I only had to bake for 11 minutes. That's just differences in ovens though, I guess. My other question is yours look chewy...were they? Mine taste good but are very crunchy. I am wondering how I get them chewyer(sp?)? Thanks for the recipe!
