Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, not too thick, and not too thin. Perfection!
You’re either an oatmeal cookie person or you’re not. I 100% am. I could eat Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies ALL. DAY. Which is why I can’t make them very often, because when I do, I don’t share. Eek.
This recipe made about 40 cookies, and I conveniently had nobody to give them to. I proceeded to eat all 40 Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies one after another after another, until they were gone. Though I did have a little bit of help.
Sneaky little one.
There’s something about eating these Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies that feels healthier than a normal chocolate chip cookie. Maybe because there’s the word oatmeal in the title?
Either way, they’re so so good. This recipe came from my mom (again), which I’ve adapted to make my own. They’re just slightly crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside, not too thick, not too thin.
Simply perfection.

Absolutely use parchment paper for these, I ran out for my second tray and they stuck. I can use the broken ones for crumble on ice cream. I will add more cinnamon and maybe a little nutmeg next time I make these, but overall they were a quick and easy cookie.
