Toasted Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Toasted Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies- toasting the oats makes these some of the tastiest oatmeal cookies you will ever sink your teeth into!

A few months ago I shared a recipe for toasted oatmeal chocolate chip muffins. That was when I discovered the magic of toasting oats. It was an epic discovery, and once you try it, your baked goods will never be the same! It adds such a yummy nutty flavor. So good!

Besides the toasted oats, there is another secret to awesome oatmeal cookies. Two kids of chocolate chips. The milk chocolate chips add sweetness, and they are my kids’ favorite part. But adding the semi-sweet chocolate chips makes the cookies have heavenly little melted pools of chocolate. Put them both together and it’s a perfect balance!

Give this recipe a try. They might just become your new favorite oatmeal cookies!
