These are the ultimate comfort cookies, blending a classic chocolate chip cookie with a hearty oatmeal cookie. They are soft and tender in the middle with a perfect chew around the edges, packed with melty chocolate and wholesome oats. The recipe includes a key chilling step and a freezer-friendly dough trick for instant cookie gratification.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Use a spatula to fold in the rolled oats and chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for a chewy texture and prevents excessive spreading. For a make-ahead option, portion and freeze the dough balls; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
