This is very similar to my Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies but sans the Peanut Butter. These cookies are great and sometimes I will add about 2 cups of raisins to the mix. Enjoy!

How To Make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixer, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until blended. Add vanilla.
  • Step 2
    Place 5 cups of oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until oatmeal resembles a fine powder (almost flour-like).
  • Step 3
    Put blended oats to a large bowl. Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly.
  • Step 4
    Working in batches, add dry ingredients to mixer on low speed. Mix until flour is just incorporated, scraping down sides of mixer as needed. Do not overmix.
  • Step 5
    Add chocolate chips, grated Hershey bar, nuts and raisins, if using. Mix well.
  • Step 6
    Roll batter into 2-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
  • Step 7
    Bake cookies for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from sheet and place on wire rack to cool.
  • Step 8
    Note: To have a consistent size cookie, before rolling, first scoop dough with cookie scooper, then roll dough.
