Perfect Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Updated October 10, 2018 with new photos and option for metric measurements.

It’s the first day of school here in Newfoundland! And it’s also the first day of cookie season in the Parsons household.

So we’re starting the year right with these perfect oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They are a real kid classic after school snack with a tall glass of cold milk.

Most of the time these days, our cookie batches don’t even make it to after school! Both of my kids are in Junior High which is right around the corner from our house. So, coming home for lunch with several friends tagging along is a daily occurrence here.

I like dark chocolate chips at 50% cocoa in this recipe but you can use any kind you like.

Both of my kids are excellent cookie bakers and there are almost always freshly baked cookies available in our counter top cookie jar.

From chocolate chip, to oatmeal to peanut butter cookies, it seems at least one of the bakers in this household manage to keep the jar filled.

Wonder why we have so many kids visit, huh? These soft, crispy edged, chewy cookies will undoubtedly be made many times during the school year. Have a great school year folks!
