Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Soft oatmeal cookies with chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts. These chocolate chunk oatmeal cookies have been a long-time favorite cookie recipe. This recipe was first published in 2009.

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

I don’t often make cookies, but when I do I tend to favor soft oatmeal cookies. This has been my go-to recipes for years (I first shared it back in 2009) after I did some tweaking to a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe I found on epicurious.com. I scaled it back a bit – I can’t be trusted around a cookie recipe that makes 72 cookies – added big chocolate chunks, some chopped walnuts, and a little bit of cinnamon. It makes a soft cookie that holds up well for a few days in an airtight container. 

Back in the day, I scooped enough dough to make a batch of 12-16 cookies, but these days I’ve reigned it in a bit and scoop about two tablespoons per cookie giving me about 36 total. I’ve also been known to scoop the dough and freeze the individual balls. That way I don’t have a pile of fresh-baked cookies on my counter insisting I grab one every time I’m in the kitchen. This time I baked all of the cookies and gave some of them away and saved the rest for me.
The whole process is pretty straightforward. The hardest part is remembering to pull a stick of butter out of the fridge to soften, something I find I have to add to my to-do list otherwise when it’s cookie-making time I end up with a sad face. Creaming cold butter is very hard. I don’t recommend it.
Happy baking!

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are a mix and bake affair – no chilling in the refrigerator required. Bake them off all at once or freeze the balls to have on hand when a cookie craving hits. Just take note: frozen dough will need a few extra minutes in the oven. Recipe adapted from epicurious.com

Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons), softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about ten minutes. Whisk the oats, flour, baking soda and powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  3. Add one egg to the butter and sugar and mix on a medium speed until combined. Add the second egg and mix again. Add the vanilla and milk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, in a few batches, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate and walnuts.

Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled store in an airtight container for up to two days.
