Oat Options:
We like to use quick oats for this chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe as we often have them on hand. You can also substitute them with regular rolled oats. Both options work well in this recipe!
Sugar Options:
As mentioned, the brown sugar in this recipe really makes it stand out. We love using it in cookie recipes for its deep and rich flavor. That said, the mix of white and brown sugar in this recipe will make your cookies so wonderfully chewy. You’ll definitely want to use both instead of only granulated sugar!
Chocolate Chips:
They wouldn’t be the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies if it wasn’t for the chocolate chips, right?! We use regular milk chocolate in our recipe, but you can feel free to use your favorite: milk, dark, or white!
Do I Have To Use Cinnamon?
We personally love the addition of cinnamon in this chocolate oatmeal cookies recipe! We love the way the slightly spicy flavor marries with vanilla, brown sugar, and oats. However, if you don’t like cinnamon, it’s completely optional.
What Else Can I Add To Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Raisins in oatmeal cookies are another traditional cookie. If you prefer raisins to chocolate, go ahead and substitute them. You could even use both raisins and chocolate for a fun twist! You can also add nuts if you like them. We highly recommend chopped pecans or walnuts in your chocolate oatmeal cookies. If you don’t enjoy nuts or have allergies, you can definitely leave them out.
Can I Double This Recipe?
Absolutely! Cookie recipes typically double rather easily. This recipe makes approximately 20 to 24 cookies, depending on how large or small you make them. Simply double all of your ingredients for approximately 48 cookies. You will need to either work in batches or use 4 baking sheets.
Cooking Time Modifications
If you want a crispier cookie, bake for 14 minutes. If you prefer a chewy cookie that holds together, bake for 10 minutes. For that perfect crisp ring around the outside and a soft center, bake for 12 minutes. One of the reasons that this is one of the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipes is that you can really make it your own!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in your pantry or on your countertop for up to 7 days. However, in our house, we eat them all within 2 days! If you like warm cookies, you can heat them up in the microwave at 15-second increments until they are warmed through. You can also reheat them in the oven at 300 degrees F for around 5 minutes.
