Ultimate Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies have the unbeatable combination of delicious white chocolate, peanut butter and milk chocolate chips, old-fashioned oats and a hint of cinnamon to make them desirable and dangerous at the same time!
Baking cookies is therapy to me.
Especially when they come out like these! Then my therapy session is well spent. I feel better and I get to enjoy the rewards afterwards.
And did you notice? We are incorporating oatmeal into our diet of cookies? 🙂
See, we now have a little balance, as I see it.

I sent some of these down to my 2 sons and their families in Florida. Made 2 different batches and took some into work to share. (It all seems to work out nicely between family, work, friends, etc...)
One of my co-workers wanted to know why her cookies always go flat and why these had such nice texture. In her case, I think she was using butter that was too soft, but there are a variety of reasons why. If you have cookie issues and want to know why, check out these tips here and hopefully you'll be able to pin it down and keep baking great cookies!
In this recipe, the butter is cold, not room temperature or softened. The cookies are then scooped onto a baking sheet using a large ice cream/cookie scooper
Cornstarch is added to bake them up soft and thick, oats to make them hearty and a touch of cinnamon to give them a little warmth.
One cookie is plenty for me for snacking, even though I want to keep reaching for more! Hard to resist!
Definitely cozy cookies for the holidays and share with friends!

Yes you can, no issues with using the mini chocolate chips at all!
I only have mini chocolate chips Not the reg size ones still only use 1/2 cup of mini??
Hi Lexie! I'm thinking maybe too much flour? I've made them a lot and they are supposed to be a little thick. I used a big cookie scoop as well. Hope that helps! 🙂
I just made these! They are so delicious but I’m hoping you can help me: mine were super puffy and I’m not sure why. Anything come to mind that might cause that. I flattened the second batch a bit before poking but they came out the same.
now this is my kinda therapy too! haha Baking and chocolate/oatmeal cookies is WAY better than any therapist any day! 😀 Well, it could also be that I love to bake and eat chocolate, that definitely helps! These sound like the best of two cookies in one. I find I either make oatmeal or choc chip, never both. I made your hot chocolate ones with marshmallows and they were amazing so trying these next. Thanks for another delicious recipe, Cookie Queen! 😀 xo
Thank you Laura, they are soooo good! 🙂 Hope you enjoy them soon!
That combo you just mentioned sounds really good too! Thanks Heather!
Thanks so much Catherine! 🙂 LOL! Sometimes we need to keep secrets from mom!
You’re right about ‘dangerous”! I’m tempted to get out all of these ingredients right now! They are beautiful and sound so yummy! Pinned, because I know I’m going to make them. Sooner rather than later! Thanks, Kim!
oooh yum! normally i do oatmeal + chocolate + walnuts + rice krispies when i want oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but these sound so good with the peanut butter (:
Don't tell, but these oatmeal cookies look even better than the ones my mom used to make!! I would seriously just hunker down with that whole batch, so delicious!! 😀
I love oatmeal cookies and these look like cookie perfection! I can see why everyone loved them. Pinning!!!
I love oatmeal cookies, and not just because I can pretend they're healthy and suitable for breakfast :). These look AWESOME and next time I'm craving oatmeal cookies (which will be in about half an hour) I'm totally trying these!
Oh boy ! Danger zone ! 🙂
