Small Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Small Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to make, only require one bowl, and are ready in about 30 minutes!
Today we’re taking a break from my lemon, fruit, and no-bake dessert obsession for a new small batch cookie recipe. These small batch chocolate chip cookies are one of the most popular recipes on my blog and they’ve received tons of great reviews. It’s also one of the recipes from my blog that I make most often.
Earlier this year I made another version with these small batch peanut butter cookies. And today?! I have another cookie recipe that I’m really excited to share with you all. Small Batch Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Like all of my other small batch cookie recipes this recipe doesn’t make a lot of cookies, I usually get about eight or nine each time I make them. I love small batch cookie recipes because sometimes when I’m craving a cookie I don’t want to make a ton, especially because it’s just my husband and I. But, they’re also perfect for families too because everyone can enjoy a cookie or two and not have a lot leftover.
Another thing that I love about these cookies is that you can really make them into whatever you want. If you prefer oatmeal raisin cookies, simply add in a little bit of ground cinnamon and replace the chocolate chips with raisins. You can mix in just about anything you love in oatmeal cookies into this recipe!
With some of my cookie recipes, I prefer to chill the dough so the cookies bake up nice and thick. But, I’ve found that it’s really not necessary to chill this cookie dough. The dough is pretty thick so the cookies won’t spread very much. No chilling time also means less time between you and warm ooey gooey chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
Have I convinced you to make these yet? Because I’m currently on my batch number five and I don’t see any end in sight.

These were absolutely delicious!!!
My go to cookie recipe. I add raisins, nuts and chocolate chips. Calling them “Healthy Senior Cookies” lol. I have made cookie dough to go for my son many times and he bakes as needed within 2-5 days. Also double recipe using light and dark brown sugar, awesome recipe ❤️
These came out fantastic! I will definitely adding this recipe to the rotation. Both of my kids loved them as well. So perfectly chewy and hearty. Thank you for a wonderful recipe that doesn’t make 4 dozen cookies that I then have to use all my strength not to eat – haha!
Could you update this with gram measurements? It would be appreciated! Thank you
Just added them 🙂
These were delicious! I used oil instead of the butter and added a little protein powder along with gluten-free flour. I also ran out of sugar so I just used brown sugar. Apparently, it’s time for me to go shopping. Even with the substitutions, these cookies came out so chewy and delicious!
Thank you for the recipe!
