I have to admit that this is the first time that I have made Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. Man alive, I wish I had made them earlier. These were soooo soft and chewy. I have already added these to my favorite recipes in the Paprika app on my iPad.
Do you have the Paprika app? If not, you really need to check it out. I absolutely LOVE it! It lets me sync all my recipes between my iPhone, iPad and my MacBook. I use my iPad in the kitchen almost every time I cook or bake. I am always referring to the Paprika app on my iPhone when I am at the grocery store and needing to check and see what ingredients I need for a certain recipe. My only complaint is that they don’t have a Windows friendly version that I can use with my desktop computer.
Ok, back to the cookies. I was really expecting the kids to turn their noses up at these because they aren’t real fond of anything related to oatmeal. I am happy to report that I was wrong in my thinking. They loved them and they were gone within a few hours!
I found the original recipe here, but as usual I made a few little changes. I am always trying to make some treats a little more healthy for my family. Yes, I know these are not “healthy” but I did make them a little better than the original recipe. 😉 For instance, I cut down the sugar, used cake flour rather than all-purpose, etc. I put my recipe below, but you are welcome to check out and use the original recipe I linked above.
- 1 stick butter, softened
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 1 T. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- 1¼ cups cake flour
- ¾ cup oatmeal
- 1½ cups chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350º.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Add in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sea salt, baking soda, flour, and oatmeal. Add into the butter mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop about 2 T. of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-10 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden and the centers just set. Let cool for 2 minutes on the pan before transferring off to cool completely.
- Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
I hope you enjoy these! Be sure to come back and let me know what you think! 🙂

Made these delicious little treats this afternoon and they were a hit (had to give a few to my neighbour to keep me from eating them all).
Took them out of the oven a bit early to ensure their chewyness and also added 1/4 c. of slivered almonds – delish!
She’s a keeper.
Thank you so much for letting me know that these were a hit! 🙂 Aren’t they yummy?! I want to be your neighbor if you share sweet treats like this! Thanks again!
Girl…..
These are SO good. I added milled flaxseed, and did coconut oil instead of butter, mostly coconut palm sugar, added white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, pumpkin spice chips AND peanut butter…. yum yum yum yum!
🙂 Thank you so much!
