Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies for the Table

I’m about to make a quite bold statement BUT I think these might be my ALL TIME regular cookies on the blog. And I have some truly good cookie recipes!

But these cookies- DAMN – they are good! Especially for how UNFUSSY they are!

These cookies are adapted from my original (and OMG SO SATISFYING) Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies recipe. I’ve made the chocolate chip version several times now and I only felt like it needed it’s own post full of love and praise. Because seriously, these are only WORTH THE POT!

Weirdly, I didn’t use to like oatmeal cookies all that much. I’ve genuinely grown a fondness for them as I’ve gotten older and they’re one of my all time favorites now. I make these at home OFTEN and we never ever get sick of them.

One of the things that Worth keeping so much about these is that they come together all in one big bowl! I most often use my stand mixer for ease but you can completely do this by hand!

But first, let’s go over the ingredients:

  • ½ cup (1 stick) vegan butter, room temp
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup of plant based milk
  • 1/3 cup of chocolate chips

I’m hoping to test out a gluten free version of these cookies using oat flour. But for now, I haven’t made them gluten free yet. So, proceed with caution on that one!

That’s all I have for today! Keeping this short and sweet:)

As usual, if you end up making this method, be sure to come back and let me know what you think! Or snap a short photo and tag me on Instagram @! I ALWAYS love to see what y’all are making from the blog!

The recipe

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies on the Stove

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies that are simple and flavor-packed!

  • Serves 12 large cookies
  • Prep 10 minutes
  • Cook 15 minutes
  • Total 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup 1 stick vegan butter, room temp
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅓ cup of plant based milk
  • ⅓ cup of chocolate chips

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the oats, flour, powder, and soda in a bowl and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add in the dry ingredients and beat until combined with the butter and sugars – dough will be crumbly.

  5. 5

    With the stand mixer on medium-low, pour in the almond milk. Beat only until a dough has formed – about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. 6

    Scoop and roll into 2 tablespoon balls and set in the fridge for 15+ minutes.

  7. 7

    Place dough balls 2 inches apart and bake for 14-16 minutes*, until golden around the edges.

  8. 8

    Allow to cool on a wire rack and ENJOY!

Cook notes

*Don’t bake them more than this. Mine usually have this dough, slightly under baked look in the middle after about 15 minutes but they don’t need to bake any longer than 16 minutes. Once they cool, they set and are RELIABLE!
