Blue Ribbon Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These blue ribbon oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are delicious. They are not your cookie that tastes like a granola bar. If you are looking for a hearty old fashioned oatmeal cookie with a slight crunch and plenty of rich chocolate chips, you are in luck.

I made these cookies for my husband to take to work the other day. He had not had one yet when I sent in individual bags with two cookies a piece. (I had to make three batches just to have enough). When he got home from work, I asked him if they liked the cookies.

My husband’s work buddies all thought that they were oatmeal raisin, and apparently not everyone is a fan of that. Therefore, some of them took the He said that they all took the cookies because they felt obligated, but once they tasted them, they raved about them and said that they were a nice combination.

This cookie is not requested often and I am happy to whip them up for them to enjoy.

According to Better Homes and Gardens, the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie is on the naughty list as being one of the least favorite cookies in America. Guess that is why his work buddies were not keen on trying the cookie right away.

Add chocolate chips and remove the raisins and spices and you now have a cookie that goes to the top of the charts.

Old Fashioned Oats Versus Quick Oats

I have used both types of oats in the cookie recipe. When using the quick oats, the cookies turn out just a bit flatter. I would imagine because of the extra processing. Therefore, I normally use just the regular old-fashioned oats as they keep their shape better. Additionally, the old-fashioned oats seem to have a bit chewier texture. If you prefer a less chewy cookie, then use the quick oats.

You may be thinking because there are oats in this recipe that I have added cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins. Not this recipe. This one is just chocolate chips and no other flavoring except for vanilla extract.

I love oatmeal raisin cookies, but some people do not. Therefore, I wanted a hearty cookie that others would enjoy too and because this recipe is really like a beefed-up chocolate chip cookie recipe, everyone digs in.

If you prefer a softer, chewier cookie, make sure not to over-bake them. I use a 2-inch cookie scoop and bake them for 15 minutes. The bottom is just starting to turn a golden brown and the edges show just a hint of turning the golden brown. That is when you know they are ready to take them out of the oven.

If you prefer a center that is a bit under done, bake them at a higher temperature for a shorter period. 375 degrees F. for 8 minutes.

Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to the cooling tray. This helps them keep their shape when moving them.

Do not grease or oil the pan. Just use parchment paper or a silicone liner.

Storing and Freezing Cookies

In an airtight container, these cookies will keep up to one week. However, if you make a few batches, you can freeze them for up to three months. Just place them in a freezer-safe container. Take them out and let them thaw and enjoy.

They are great for unexpected company. Take them out and separate them on a place to help them thaw faster. Normally, within 20 minutes, they are ready for eating.

While I rarely have to add any more flour, if you do find that the dough is a bit sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour and mix in well before baking the cookies.
I use old-fashioned oats; however, you can also use quick oats. Using the old-fashioned oats creates a denser and thicker cookie that holds its shape well.
