Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, blended oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped nuts.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you want to reduce the fat content, you can substitute half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Additionally, using rolled oats instead of blended oatmeal will add a chewy texture to the cookies. Make sure to chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help prevent spreading.
Serving Suggestions
These double chocolate oatmeal cookies are delightful on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. For an extra touch, serve them alongside a slice of Mile High Pie or a warm piece of Grammy'S Chocolate Cookies for a delightful dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, place cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match your favorite types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even butterscotch chips. This will give your cookies a unique flavor profile and make them even more enjoyable.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your cookie dough feels too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to scoop and shape. Additionally, you can add a little extra flour if necessary, but do so gradually to avoid altering the texture.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that the oats are certified gluten-free, as some brands may be processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains.
