Easy cookie recipes like Chocolate Chip Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, and Peanut Butter Cookies are on regular rotation in my house and certainly are the most popular cookies on my site. We all love a classic cookie, especially one that stays soft and fresh for days.
I love Oatmeal Cookies so much! I have many recipes here on my site, but I realized I had never posted a classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip! My Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are famous in my family, because they are simply the BEST and I thought that chocolate needed a time to shine too!
- This is an easy cookie recipe that requires no chill time!
- And of course they are adaptable as well…meaning you can use any flavor chip you like, for example white chips, butterscotch, or a combo! And certainly you could use raisins in place of the chocolate chips as well!
- I use Quick Oats in this oatmeal cookie recipe. I love the quick oats because it makes the texture more uniform. You can absolutely use rolled (old fashioned) oats if you prefer, they will just have a slightly different texture.
- I love using coarse sea salt in my cookie recipes, and this is no exception. The salty little bits just add an extra something that sets them apart!
Yes, absolutely! You can freeze the baked cookies OR freeze the dough before you bake them.
- To freeze baked cookies, store them in an airtight container, or zip-top bag for up to a month! Let them thaw at room temperature and enjoy!
- OR to get that fresh baked taste back, after they are thawed, pop them into a 350°F oven for 2-3 minutes and enjoy warm cookies!
- To freeze the unbaked dough, portion out the dough in scoops and place them on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for an hour or so, or until they are frozen. Transfer the cookie dough scoops into a zip-top bag and place in the fridge!
- To bake frozen dough, you don’t have to thaw it, just bake the dough frozen and add a few minutes to the bake time!

People tell me I make the best cookies, and I happily take the compliment. However, I should be giving you all the credit- because you have really nailed it with this recipe! I literally make these every week and have for months. I use freshly milled flour and rolled oats. Thank you!
Very delicious! I love that the isn’t cinnamon, and the amount of sugar and vanilla is perfect! Will be making again very soon!
Yummm! These cookies are so gooey and delicious. I halved the recipe and got 24 smallish cookies. Used 2/3 cup sugar instead of 3/4, and used half choco chips, half raisins. I think they would have been too sweet for my taste with full sugar and chips. Might decrease the salt next time as well as add in some hemp hearts for nutrition. Great recipe as is though.
can i use raisins instead of chocolate chips ? thank you
Sure!
is it ok to just use regular salt?
Sure, I would just use a little less as kosher salt is a courser grain. I would use 3/4 teaspoon 🙂
These are delicious! I halved the recipe and it came out perfect, made 15 bigger cookies. Definitely listen to the direction where it says to not overcook! I got nervous because the middles were so gooey so I kept them in a few minutes too long but they were still delicious!
Absolutely amazing! So soft, chewy, and everything youd ever dream of in a cookie! My mom told me they were the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies shes ever had, and my dad cant stop eating and talking about them! Definitely using this recipe again and again!
Loved these. They were easy to make, and my toddler loved them, too. (She doesn’t normally want to even try cookies.)
These are the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies i have ever had!!
So glad you like them!!
