Soft & chewy, these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies go from prep to in your mouth in 30 minutes! Made with semi-sweet chocolate chips for the perfect balance!
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Add softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Set to medium speed and mix for 3 to 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add eggs one at a time, mixing for 1 minute between each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix for 1 more minute.
Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to the bowl and mix at low speed for 30 seconds, just until no streaks of flour remain.
Add oats and chocolate chips and mix at low speed for about 30 seconds, until evenly distributed.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon-size spring loaded cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies on each prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Let sit for about 2 to 3 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack until completely cool.
Notes
Tip: To keep your oatmeal cookies soft and chewy, make sure to use exact measurements when baking. Too much flour - dried out your cookies. Not enough butter - crumble city.
