These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are amazing! I often make them with chocolate chips but sometimes I substitute raisins. This recipe is a scratch recipe but uses simple pantry items. It makes a big delicious batch and these cookies keep well.

I always feel oatmeal cookies are just a little bit healthier than the average cookie. Because of all the oatmeal in this recipe, of course! A whole three cups of oatmeal. Cookies are really popular in my house. Two quick recipes include this easy peanut butter cookie recipe and this cake mix blueberry cookie recipe.

Just a couple of quick comments. These taste very good and make a big batch. There are easily 4 dozen oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with this recipe. The little scoop really makes portioning the cookies easier. All the cookies are the same size and the whole process is less messy. This is an awesome recipe if you want to give some away. You can give lots of these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies away and still have some for yourself :).

If you would like a super simple recipe that uses only three ingredients and makes only about a dozen cookies, please take a look at my Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies. Uses peanut butter, sugar and an egg!
