More About This Recipe

These hearty oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are made completely from scratch but are worth the effort. To ensure that your hard work pays off, we have a few pointers that you should keep in mind. Oatmeal cookies are drop cookies, which means that the dough is spooned directly from the mixing bowl onto the cookie sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use a tablespoon to scoop up dough and drop it on the cookie sheet. Using a measuring spoon helps to make sure that all of the cookies are uniformly sized. If you’re hoping to bake giant cookies, try using an ice cream scoop. Making cookies is easy—making perfect cookies requires a bit more effort! But once you know the tips and tricks to making cookies from scratch, you’ll be whipping up a fresh batch on the regular!
