A soft and chewy double chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that melts in your mouth and is LOADED with chocolate flavour. The perfect “just because” treat.
Sometimes a girl just needs a cookie. A real cookie.
A cookie made with butter.
And sugar.
And chocolate… lots and lots of chocolate…
A cookie that melts in your mouth.
But that’s still loaded with plenty of texture.
A cookie that’s slightly crispy on the outside.
While being soft and chewy on the inside.
A cookie that can take the edge off a rough day.
Satisfy a craving for something ooey, gooey, chocolate, and sweet.
But that really needs no rhyme or reason other than “just because.“
A cookie kind of like this one…
I know, right?!
Ladies (and gentlemen?), allow me to introduce you to the solution to all of life’s little problems — also known as the double chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. The original plan was to make regular old chocolate chip oatmeal cookies (the best kind of cookies, imo), but when a chocolate craving hit and hit hard (interpret that as you will), I figured there was no harm in tossing a little cocoa into the batter dough… and maaaaaaaybe adding a few extra chocolate chips chunks for good measure…
The result is a chocolate lover’s dream.
A cookie lover’s dream.
The kind of dessert that makes people go “Ohhhhgggmaaguuuud” (true story).
But don’t take my word for it — whip up a batch of your own!
Because sometimes… everyone just needs a cookie…

I’ve made many cookies in my day and these are not sweet enough. I would increase the white sugar to half cup for sure. When I eat chocolate, I want it to be decadent and these are not. Otherwise a good cookie.
Love these!
I see this was posted quite some time ago. I just tried it for the first time. Perfect texture and beyond delicious! I’m planning to make more. Do you know if they freeze well?
Thank you!
Yum!!! So happy I found this recipe. I have been buying my favorite oatmeal cookie at local bakery. Now I can make them at home finally. Stay safe and healthy!
I’m so glad you like them, Dimitra! Hope you’re doing well.
I am a pretty good Baker.. these didn’t turn out at all. I believe the spoonful of batter should be slightly pushed down. . I ended with lumps….
I just made these and they’re really good!!! Although they did flatten out too much, but I think that’s because I used honey instead of sugar, and wholewheat flour. I just can’t help trying to “healthyfy” recipes 😆
I’ll make them again and try to not use too much liquid.
hi there, just tried this recipe but I doubled it and they did not turn out at all, they just didn’t want to flatten they came out almost as they went in like a ball. hmm don’t know what happened but they still taste good.
How many calories per cookie? Trying to make them for my husband
Sorry, Mallika. I don’t calculate the nutritional info for my recipes, but you can use a calculator like this one to figure it out — http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator
Would it be ok to use regular salted butter in this recipe? I want to make these now, and that’s all I have on hand.
It would be fine, Leslie. Although you might want to omit the 1/4 tsp. of added salt in that case.
They are even sexier on here than on instagram.
Double chocolate? Double awesomesauce.
these look so soft and chewy!
My favorite cookie has to be a good old soft gingerbread! With the xmas season upon us it’s literally all i can think about! I mean I could definitely go for one of these cookies right about now though too! Looks delicious!
