Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, and butter until smooth.
- Add the beaten eggs and mix well.
- Sift together the salt, baking powder, soda, and flour.
- Add the dry ingredients along with vanilla to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Grind the oatmeal until fine in a food processor and add to the mixture along with chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you're out of butter, a 1/2 cup of coconut oil can work as a substitute. Grinding the oatmeal finely is key to achieving the right texture, so don't skip this step. Make sure to chill the dough overnight to enhance the flavors and make it easier to handle.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for a sweet treat with coffee or milk. For a fun twist, serve them as ice cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies. They also pair beautifully with Cherry'S Salad for a delightful contrast of flavors. Consider serving them at gatherings along with other American recipes for a nostalgic dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Super Chippers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend includes xanthan gum for proper texture. The cookies may vary slightly in texture, but they should still be delicious!
How can I make these cookies more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, try adding cocoa powder to the dry ingredients or using a mix of chocolate chips, such as semi-sweet and dark chocolate. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top after baking for an extra indulgent touch.
What can I replace the nuts with if I have allergies?
If you or someone you're serving has nut allergies, you can simply omit the nuts or replace them with seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. You can also increase the amount of chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
