How to Make Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies Video

Sure, chocolate chip cookies are good. Excellent, even. But Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies? The best. We don’t like to play favorites, but seriously they might be the best of all cookies. There’s something perfect about the almost-savory flavor and the chewiness that comes from the addition of oats. This classic recipe is made with quick-cooking oats and studded with chocolate chips (and chopped nuts, but only if you want them!). It is exactly the kind of cookie your family will be thrilled to find in the cookie jar, and that you’ll want to make over and over again. If you want to save yourself some time and prepare the dough ahead of time, you can mix it up, cover it and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours until you’re ready to bake. If needed, let it soften at room temperature for up to 30 minutes until it’s easy to scoop. For the super-planners out there, scoop the dough into balls and freeze them for up to 9 months (first freeze them on a baking sheet until the balls are solid and then transfer them into a freezer bag for easy storage). When you’re craving a cookie, they are ready and waiting—you can make one (or several) freshly-baked cookies for dessert anytime!
