Today’s tried and true recipe is from King Arthur Baking Company – Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! These are the BEST chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I’ve ever made. They are soft and chewy with a crispy edge, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and nutty oats. Chocolate Chip Cookie perfection. Bonus, they can be made gluten-free too.

This cookie recipe was King Arthur Baking Company’s 2015 recipe of the year. My sister sent me the recipe a few weeks ago, they have been her go-to chocolate chip cookies for the last year or so. Being married to a cookie monster, making the same chocolate chip cookies for decades, I was ready to try something new. Two glasses of milk and six cookies later, my husband said the recipe is a keeper! He still loves my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, but these were a tasty, welcome change.

**King Arthur Baking Company credits the original recipe to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer non-profit. Thank you for such a wonderful cookie recipe and all you do. 🍪❤️**

I followed the recipe to a T, as directed. When it’s recipe of the year, no tweaks are needed.

Pour yourself a tall glass of cold milk and grab few cookies…enjoy!

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt OR 3/4 teaspoon regular table salt
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix butter, sugar and brown sugar until blended well, smooth and creamy.

Next add egg, egg yolk and vanilla – mix well until smooth.

In a medium size bowl, add flour, oats, salt, baking soda and baking powder, mix well then add to the butter mixture. Mix until the flour mixture has completely incorporated – Do Not Over Mix.

Last, fold the chocolate chips into the cookie dough until evenly distributed – Do Not Over Mix.

Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough (pick the size you like) on prepared baking sheets 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 12-17 minutes depending on size of cookies. Cookies are ready when they start to turn light golden brown with slightly dark edges.
