Make this delicious homemade Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie recipe and enjoy them year-round. During the holidays you can give them as a last minute gift idea with the diy packaging and recipe card below.
You’ll love this crispy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe for any time of the year. They’re especially nice to bake during the holidays because the recipe makes so many cookies. Make them for Christmas cookie exchange parties or for gifts you can give out to neighbors, teachers, or friends. Check out the cute diy gifting idea I have for you at the bottom.
I’ve made these cookies several times and have a couple of notes to add. The recipe calls for 3 cups of oats, but I made them with 2 cups after running out and they turned out just fine. Also, the yield says 4 dozen cookies but I think my last count was in the 60’s so….depends how large you make them.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe
- 1 stick plus 6 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats or old fashioned, uncooked
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed with electric mixer, until creamy.
Add eggs & vanilla and beat well.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt; mix well.
Add oats & chocolate chips; mix well.
Drop dough by the teaspoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 – 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet and cool completely on wire rack.
Makes about 4 dozen.
- For the gift container, use the mini size canisters that nuts or Pringles chips come in. Empty it out and wipe down the inside with a damp cloth. Wrap the outside with scrapbook paper or wrapping paper, print out a circle gift tag {this one is from Bird’s Party} to apply to the lid, and tie with pretty ribbon. Bake your cookies small enough to fit inside the container and stack up.
- Give the recipe card along with the gift so the recipient can re-live the sugary goodness all through the year. To make it easy for you just right click and save the recipe card below, and then print it out on your computer. Everyone love gifts of good taste!
