How to Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are best served slightly warm while the chocolate chips are still melty. You can enjoy them on their own, or pair them with a glass of milk for a classic treat. They’re also great for sharing at gatherings or as a sweet gift.

How to Store Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay tasty for about a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a sealed bag for up to three months. Just thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!

Tips to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Use Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats: They provide the best texture and are chewier than quick oats.
  2. Don’t Overmix: Mixing just until combined helps keep the cookies soft and tender.
  3. Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for 30 minutes can make the cookies even better and prevent them from spreading too much while baking.

Variation

You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch. Dried fruits such as cranberries or raisins can also be mixed in for a fruity twist. If you prefer, you can replace half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

FAQs

1. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, you can use quick oats, but the texture will be different. Rolled oats give a chewier cookie.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown. They will continue to cook a bit after being removed from the oven.

3. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! You can substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative and use flaxseed meal mixed with water instead of the egg.
