Thick and delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

STACK OF oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

I have a lot of hobbies, things I like to do.  And one of them is experimenting with chocolate chip cookie recipes. I probably try 2-3 a month.  I always think I am going to find a better, more perfect chocolate chip cookie.  Most of the times I don’t.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ve got several different chocolate chip cookie recipes here on the blog that have met with my seal of approval and “made the blog!”  I am a firm believer that something must be worth the calories if I’m going to eat it!

Today’s oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe is one that passed the test. Not too flat and not too thick.  Chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.  This recipe also includes oatmeal which makes it even more chewy.

The recipe uses a combination of butter and shortening which I really prefer. I used butter flavored shortening.  It also uses  dark brown sugar and a whole tablespoon of vanilla.  In my book you can never have too much vanilla!

It also has one other secret ingredient – vanilla pudding mix.  I have made other recipes that use vanilla pudding before and was not impressed but it really works in this recipe!  I used milk chocolate chips because that’s what I like.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made so many chocolate chip cookies I can pretty much tell by the way the cookie looks, before I even taste it, if it’s going to stand up to my chocolate chip cookie standards.  I knew this one was a winner when I pulled it out of the oven.

Just about the only thing that could make this cookie any better was a nice cold glass of milk!

Yeah, I’m a dipper!

    I made these today and they were such a big hit I have to make a second batch this evening! Before adding the chocolate chips as it says in the recipe, I separated the dough into a few small bowls and then added cinnamon chips to one bowl, chocolate chips to the next one and coconut to the last one. I think the coconut ones were my favorite! Thanks for a great recipe.
