You are only 20 minutes away from these delicious Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! One bowl, pantry ingredients and enough for some now and some later 😉 make the perfect recipe.

Why you should make these Easy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:

These cookies are so simple to make! Just mix the ingredients together in one bowl and bake. Even if you aren’t a “baker” you can have great success with these.

You should make these oatmeal cookies because they are a great alternative to regular chocolate chip cookies. Oatmeal adds lots of texture and flavor to the classic.

I love that you can make these cookies your own by choosing what add-ins to use. Check out the variations below for some creative ideas.

Can you freeze these cookies?

Yes! There are 2 great ways to freeze these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They both work well, but I’ll tell you my favorite way below.

The first method is to freeze the finished cookies. Once they have cooled, place them in a ziplock bag or an airtight container and freeze. They will stay good like this for up to 2 months (but probably will be finished way before 😂!

The second method and my personal favorite, is to freeze the cookie dough raw and bake as needed. Roll the cookie dough into a log and wrap it in cling wrap or tin foil. Freeze for up to 6 months. Whenever you are in a cookie mood or all of a sudden have guests at your door, just take the roll out of the freezer, slice and bake as instructed in the recipe.

What ingredients do you need for these easy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies?

  • Oil, I use canola but you can use coconut oil instead
  • White sugar
  • Brown sugar, I used dark brown sugar, but you can use light as well, as long as it’s packed
  • Egg
  • Flour, I use unbleached all purpose flour, but you can substitute it for white spelt flour.
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Oats, here I used Quaker Quick Oats. I like quick or instant oats for this recipe because they are softer, but if you want to use Steel Cut or Whole Oats just add a little time to the baking.
  • Chocolate Chips, here you have room for creativity! See below for add in ideas if you want to change things up.

How to make this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

  1. First step in making these cookies is to mix together the oil and sugars, those should be well combined before moving on to the next step.
  2. Then we add the egg and vanilla and incorporate well.
  3. Next is the dry ingredients, flour, baking soda and salt, mix these in just until it’s all combined.
  4. Lastly we fold in the oats and chocolate chips making sure it’s all evenly distributed, you want some chocolate in every bite!
  5. Scoop the cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet using a medium or small size cookie scoop.
  6. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes. When it comes out of the oven let the cookies set for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
  7. Feel free to sprinkle some flaky Maldon salt on the tops of the cookies.

Variations to these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

To be completely honest, I very much dislike raisins and you won’t ever find raisins in any of my recipes – that’s a guarantee 😅!

But, I do know that while chocolate chips are a timely classic, it’s fun to change things up once in a while. So here I’m listing a few creative add in’s you can use instead of chocolate chips in these easy oatmeal cookies:

  • Raisins (if you’re not opposed like I am ;))
  • White chocolate chips
  • Craisins
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Oreo Cookies, chopped
  • Chocolate chunks
  • Milk chocolate bar, chopped
  • Mix and match the above

Can you eat these Oatmeal Cookies for breakfast?

Don’t let me stop you! I believe cookies are the perfect breakfast food with a hot cup of coffee. Plus, these have oatmeal in them and that’s a breakfast food! So, yes, according to me, you can most certainly eat these cookies for breakfast – just be sure to invite me!

When you’re ready to bake just take out of the freezer, slice and bake as instructed above.

Have you made churros at home before?

✨Donut Hack✨ I love all kinds of donuts, seri ✨Donut Hack✨

I love all kinds of donuts, seriously, I’m not picky (when it comes to donuts 😅). But frying donuts is such a mess 🙈 I usually save it for Chanukah time.

That’s why I LOVE these cinnamon sugar donut muffins! They look/taste like munchkins but they’re actually muffins 😱.

Plus they come together really easily and are made in only one bowl!! 

Get the recipe at the link in my bio or search “Lilyrose donut muffins” on google!

Also, watch me and Rebekah make these over on @balaganbegone 🤩!

Have you tried these yet?

Tonight begins the new Hebrew month of Shvat in the lunar calendar. In this month we celebrate the holiday of Tu B’Shvat, the new year for the trees 🌳. 

The “dirt” is Oreo crumbs, and the greens are all herbs from my moms garden. The flowers are supposedly “edible” but don’t worry, I didn’t eat them 😅.

Some things just don’t translate well 😝

Looking forward to wiping some hummus this Shabbat with my fresh challah 🤣🙈

✨Red Moon Apples✨ Story time! A couple of wee ✨Red Moon Apples✨

Story time!
A couple of weeks ago my husband brought home apples from the supermarket. He said you have to cut into one of these, you’re not going to believe it!

So, I did, and I was shocked! They were bright red and beautiful inside!!! I’ve never seen anything like it before (have you?!?), and of course my first reaction was, “I need to photograph these!”

Fast forward, it’s been in the back of my mind, but I’ve been busy, so time has passed and there are only two apples left in the fridge. And they’re prob going to go bad soon. But still, I haven’t found the time.

This morning, I woke up early and got started on my to do list. It was 11 items long and some of those things had sub items 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

But then, I saw @malkaklein’s post. And she asked when was the last time you created for the sake of creating? And it felt like she was talking directly to me! 

So thanks to Malka, these photos that I have been imagining for weeks now were created and I love them 🥰

I knew I wanted to go dark and moody with these apples, but the light was beautiful so I did some light and brights too 😅

What do you prefer? Light or dark?

✨French Fries✨ So you all know I love donuts, ✨French Fries✨

So you all know I love donuts, and cookies, and strawberry short cake...

But, did you know that I’ll ALWAYS, no but seriously always, pick fries over any of those things?? 

Sooooo weird for a pastry chef to admit this 🙈 but it’s salty over sweet any day for me! Especially if we’re talking fries (with grated Parmesan, yummm) 🍟

What about you? Are you sweet or salty or an equal opportunity eater 🤣?
