These cookies are the best chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies ever! They’re thin, a little spicy, and absolutely loaded with chocolate chips!

These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!Since school is officially out for summer and the temperatures here in Arizona are skyrocketing into the triple digits (oh yay!), we’ve been spending a lot of time inside, at home. And since I’ve been home a lot, I’ve been baking a lot! So, I’ve got another scrumptious cookie recipe for you today. Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!I’m going to tell you something though, honestly; I haven’t always been a huge fan of oatmeal cookies. In fact, when I was little, I avoided them at all costs. I thought they were gross, but I’m not really sure why – the fact that a lot of them have raisins in them, maybe? I didn’t love raisins…

But once I got over it and actually ate an oatmeal cookie, I was in love! …I headed straight for the kitchen to whip up my own unique oatmeal cookie.

These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!This recipe is dear to my heart. There are so, so many great things about it; they truly are the best chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!

As with most of my cookie recipes, you can make these cookies in one pretty good size bowl, which really cuts down on the mess factor. And this recipe makes about 2-1/2 dozen cookies, which is enough, but not too many, but it can also be easily doubled if you need more cookies.

And the cookies! The cookies are oatmeal cookie perfection; thin and chewy with a nice pop of flavor from the chocolate and the molasses, and then there’s a hint of spice from the cinnamon. YUM! The cookie edges turn slightly brown while they’re baking and cool off to be perfectly crispy, but the cookies are soft and chewy in the center. They. Are. Glorious.

These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!Chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies shopping list:

  • Unsalted butter.
  • Granulated sugar.
  • Golden brown sugar.
  • White unbleached flour.
  • Baking soda.
  • Cornstarch.
  • Fine ground sea salt.
  • Ground cinnamon.
  • Eggs.
  • Molasses.
  • Vanilla extract.
  • Rolled oats (not quick-cooking oats).
  • Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (whichever you prefer; I used semi-sweet).

These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!Things to remember when baking these chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies:

  1. Always cream the butter and the sugars fully first; then add the rest of the ingredients in order.
  2. You can substitute raisins, walnuts, or cherries for the chocolate chips if you’d like to or just add them in addition to the chocolate chips, because why not?
  3. The cookies bake up the best when they are baked on a completely cool cookie sheet. If the baking sheet is still warm, the cookies start to melt before they make it into the oven and this can cause them to spread more.
  4. After baking, the cookies need to sit on the pan for at least 5 minutes before you try to move them or they might break.
  5. The cookies themselves freeze great, but I wouldn’t recommend freezing the dough; the consistency changes.
These are the perfect chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
