Simple homemade oatmeal cookie recipe makes thick, soft oatmeal cookies with chewy edges. These easy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are made in one bowl and are made with all brown sugar.

Since the butter is melted, there’s no need to soften the butter before beginning. The cookies are also made right in the pan where the butter is melted, so there’s one less bowl to wash.

 Can I chill the cookie dough?

Yes, you can. The cookie pictured directly below on the left was baked without chilling the dough. The cookie on the right was baked after chilling the dough for about an hour.

If you like a softer, thicker cookie, I’d suggest chilling the dough. If you like a thinner, chewier cookie, simply bake as directed in the instructions below.

    I made these cookies and they were AWESOME! I have not had good luck with any of the oatmeal cookie recipes I tried. I live in Colorado and its a challenge baking in high altitude. The oatmeal cookies I make usually are great consumed right after baking but get dry later that day and typically is inedible within 3 days. These cookies were still great on day 3! My 3 kiddos could not get enough of these cookies. THANK YOU for this recipe and SOO many others that you provide. We really enjoy all the quick bread recipes and cookie recipes!
