Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C), setting the stage for some delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together until well blended.

3. Step 3

   This mixture is your dry team, so set it aside for now.

4. Step 4

   In a larger bowl, take your softened butter and mix it with both brown sugar and white sugar.

5. Step 5

   Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.

6. Step 6

   Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

7. Step 7

   Don’t forget to stir in the vanilla extract for that warm, inviting flavor.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to bring the dry ingredients into the mix.

9. Step 9

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the buttery goodness, stirring gently until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough cookies, and we want them soft and chewy! Once that’s done, fold in the quick oats, chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

10. Step 10

    Now comes the fun part: using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound to allow for spreading.

11. Step 11

    Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and your kitchen is filled with an irresistible aroma.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes—this helps them set up just right.

13. Step 13

    Finally, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, and get ready to enjoy your homemade treats!.
