Any Tips For Baking Really Good Oatmeal Cookies?
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies actually, (no raisins in these), and I'm wondering if there's any good tips or anything out there to make them really good. For example which oatmeal is the best kind to use and which type of chocolate chips (semi sweet, etc.) and why?
By the way, why do so many recipes call for unsweetened or semi sweet chocolate chips, when chocolate is supposed to be sweet? Thanks ![]()
I use soft butter...and i use butterscotch morsels..they are to die for!!! try it in one or two cookies...

How to Store CookiesAirtight plastic storage containers and resealable plastic bags will help keep cookies fresh longer. Metal tins are also good if the lids seal tightly. Let cookies cool completely before storing. Store crisp and soft cookies in separate containers or the crisp cookies will also become soft

Make sure you use butter. Also I haven’t heard of unsweetened chips.
Use any chips you like. I like butterscotch in my oatmeal cookies.
Hope this helps

Personally, I like putting butterscotch chips in my oatmeal cookies, it’s such an awesome flavor combination. If you want, seperate your dough and make just a couple of cookies with the butterscotch chips if you want to see how they come out, but I promise, they’re amazing.

Also, if you like pumpkin, you can stir a little pumpkin pie filling into your cookie dough to make them taste like Fall.

It is oatmeal chocolate chip and there is 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in them. You don’t know it’s cinnamon it just makes them addictive.
My tip for oatmeal cookies is coconut and cook them thin and crispy.
I don’t like the choc chips in them except for the ones with cinnamon.

The reason recipes often call for unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate in cookies, is because the slight bitterness in those types helps the chocolate stand out from the sweet cookie. I have spent $$$ on milk chocolate chips only to find they are nearly indistinguishable from the cookie in some recipes. It was a total waste.
Other tips for good cookies:
- If you like round, chewy cookies, use shortening.
- If you like flatter, crisper cookies, use butter. (honestly though, for oatmeal cookies, nothing beats butter)
- Cream the butter/shortening – do’t melt it. Melting it will par-cook the oats and give you that odd chewiness I mentioned before.
Good luck!
