Jumbo Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are my new favorite oatmeal cookies! They have lots of healthy oats in them, along with chopped pecans, raisins, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The recipe I’m sharing with you is adapted from one I found at Allrecipes.com. My version has more chocolate chips and a little less raisins.

I made my cookies jumbo size too, so the baking time is a little longer. These are thick and chewy and really yummy. And because the batter has 3 cups of oatmeal in it, they must be at least a little healthy, right? 🙂 This recipe makes about 23 to 24 large cookies.

JUMBO OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES by NancyC, adapted from Allrecipes

Makes about 24 cookies

• 1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed butter mixture.

Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, raisins, and pecans, one ingredient at a time. Scoop dough with a 1/4 cup size measuring cup and drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake at 350˚F for 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 23 to 24 jumbo cookies.
