As I sit here writing this post, I’m trying to think of a single time in my life when I’ve turned down an oatmeal cookie. There’s just something about the chewy oats, the rich brown sugar and the butter.

I have a serious love of oatmeal cookies. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Oatmeal Toffee Cookies, Old Fashioned Iced Oatmeal Cookies, Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, and these Coconut Lover’s Oatmeal Cookies just to name a few. Chewy, thick, Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are a treat that we’ve enjoyed for a lot of years now. Around the holidays that might turn into Orange Spice Oatmeal Cookies, Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, or Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies, but a plain oatmeal chocolate chip? You can mix it up and instead of oatmeal make a Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie. Somehow they just never appealed to me, until now.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband requested oatmeal chocolate chip cookies this past weekend and these cookies were the result of that craving. They disappeared lightning fast and the whole family enjoyed them. I’m now a very happy fan of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and am sure to be making these every bit as often as I make my beloved Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
