Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
October 20th, 2009
The “Joy of Cooking” cookbook has been a staple in my parents’ kitchen for as long as I can remember. It holds many of my favorite recipes, including one of the best oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tasted (recipe here. Just substitute 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for the raisins) . They have a slight crunch when you first bite into them with a gooey center that’s bursting with chocolate and oatmeal flakes. I made a batch last weekend from my own “Joy of Cooking” that my dad gave me for Christmas a few years back. Almost as special as the recipe itself is the inscription my dad wrote inside the front cover that I read every time I open the book (pictured below).
WOW, yes, those cookies look incredible, but that note from your dad is truly inspirational. Amazing!

I love the twist on the traditional oatmeal cookies, sounds like a baking project that I will have to try soon! Sentimental notes from dads melt my heart…so sweet.
YUM!
Ohmy, those look friggin amazing ♥

Ha, chocolate chips are better than raisins any day. The little note from your dad is so sweet!

oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorite, and i only discovered them this past year! your dad’s message is such a treasure. and he has cool handwriting
yum! I love making these. Also, I always add about 1/3 cup of coconut, and it makes them SO GOOD! i highly recommend it
Yum! Totally making these–asap! xo
Yum! Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to try them out. Oatmeat choc chip cookies are the best, aren’t they?
Not being a baker, this may be a silly question: Do you bake the cookies on the actual paper? Is it wax paper or something?
Who doesn’t love The Joy of Cooking? These cookies look so delicious… I can almost TASTE them!
My favorite cookie.
They look delicious. I want one!
Wow! Your dad’s handwriting is IDENTICAL to my dad’s.
PS- I adore your blog, I’ve been reading it from the end all day for two days straight and I’m here now… Who needs work?
I stumbled across your blog a few days ago, these looked so yummy, so tried to create them today – however not sure what went wrong but they looked nothing like yours!!!
I made these last night, but with butterscotch chips instead of chocolate – they are awesome!! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!!
