These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a beloved favorite, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings or bringing along to parties and gatherings. While not a health-focused recipe, they offer a tastier and more wholesome alternative to store-bought cookies laden with artificial ingredients, excess sugars, and refined oils.
I love that these cookies are chock full of oats. Oats are a great source of healthy carbs and soluble fiber, and are loaded with good nutrients. They’re also a terrific source of energy. [Check out these No-Bake Energy Balls AKA Cookie Balls]
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 3 cups rolled oats (love Bob’s Red Mill Organic Rolled Oats)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup unrefined coconut oil (warmed to a soft or liquified state) or 1 cup butter (Nutiva Cold Pressed & Unrefined Coconut Oil is a favorite)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Add the rolled oats, light brown sugar, and white sugar to the bowl, mixing well with the dry ingredients.
- Incorporate the softened coconut oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Blend until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are distributed throughout the dough.
- Form the dough into balls, approximately 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
Note: This recipe yields approximately 24-30 cookies, making it ideal for gatherings or for keeping a supply on hand for a few days. However, they tend to disappear quickly due to their irresistible taste!
