The Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

If we had to pick a favorite cookie at our house, these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies would be the winners.

Hoping for low sugar recipe? Welllllll, this one isn’t so much low in sugar. This is the recipe I make when I have a house full of teenagers or college students. This is the recipe I make in bulk to keep in the freezer for all our cookie hospitality needs. This is the recipe that is my go-to because I can make it in my sleep. You can be sure I have definitely made these in my sleep before. What can I say?

My favorite things to do when making this recipe is 1) double it and 2) freeze cookie dough balls so I can bake them fresh as needed.

Once I’ve frozen the cookie dough balls, I transfer the balls to a gallon-sized freezer bag. When we want/need fresh cookies, we pull out a few and bake them. This saves a lot of time and dirty dishes! It also means I’m prepared for last minute guests. Need a quick dessert? All I have to do is pull out cookie dough balls and bake them. Perfect!

Bonus: This recipe calls for whole grain flour! This doesn’t really make the cookies healthy, but at least all the ingredients are real food. That counts for something!

    Do you think raisins or craisins could be substituted for the chocolate chips? Have you ever made them that way?

    I don’t have a houseful of kids anymore, but I sure do enjoy your blog!

    Thanks! Oatmeal chocolate chip is one of my favorites! (WAY better than oatmeal raisin, in my opinion.) I love freezing my extra muffin batter, and will certainly try freezing cookie dough balls!

    Do you let the cookie dough balls thaw before baking?

      We go directly from freezer to oven, then allow a little more baking time. :)

    How long do you bake for making them into cookie bars instead of individual cookies?
