Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or baking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the one cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup coconut oil and eggs. Stir with a large spatula or use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients, mixing for just a few minutes.
Once the all-purpose flour and oat flour are well-blended stir in the vanilla extract (be sure to use real vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla extract for the best taste in all cookie recipes), teaspoon baking soda, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Gently fold in the 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup almonds to the oats and flour mix, mixing for just a few minutes.
Scoop the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies dough into 2 tablespoon sized balls, (1/8 cup sized balls will work as well!)and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookie dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Use more than one baking sheet if needed!
Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets.
Move the cookies from the baking sheet to a cooling rack and then enjoy!

Can Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Be Frozen?

A fresh baked cookie is one of the best desserts in the world. Luckily, you can have fresh easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies anytime you like when you freeze the dough. Here is what you need to do to freeze our easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies recipe:

Make the recipe completely, mixing in the chocolate chips, oats, everything!
Scoop the oatmeal chocolate chip dough and place on baking sheet
Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the oatmeal chocolate chip dough freeze
Move the cookie dough into freezer safe zippered bags or airtight container and store the recipe for up to three months
When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 and place the frozen dough directly onto a baking sheet. Bake as many easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies as you’d like- making just one or 12!
Bake for the same amount of time as directed in the recipe. Since the dough is baking from frozen, the oatmeal cookies, chocolate chip loaded, will be soft and chewy oatmeal cookies!

Freezing cookie dough is one of the best ways to bake fresh cookies easily and in just a few minutes. Use our oatmeal cookie recipe, freeze the dough and you can bake chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies anytime the craving hits!

You can also choose to thaw the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies before you bake. Place the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge the night before you would like to bake or place it on the counter at room temperature for about an hour before you bake. The thawed dough will bake in the same number of minutes as the fresh cookie dough. For chewy cookies, bake for about 8-9 minutes or for less chewy, crunchier cookies, flatten the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies gently and then bake the recipe for about 12 minutes.

Using Oat Flour in Cookies

Using oatmeal flour in cookies is a great way to make your recipe healthy and delicious. While you can buy flour made with oats in the grocery store, it is very easy to make yourself.

Place a cup of rolled oats or a cup of quick oats in a blender or food processor or blender.
Pulse the cup of rolled oats or quick oats until they are a fine powder (quick oats will blend faster since they are smaller pieces than rolled oats already).
Measure the half cup needed and use the blended quick oats as directed in the recipe.

Quick oats or rolled oats will add some great fiber and antioxidants to the cookies. Oatmeal (and therefore flour made with oats) also has been shown to aid in weight loss and lower blood sugar levels. Now, we aren’t saying that eating these cookies will help you lose weight, but they are better than eating cookies made using only all-purpose flour for sure! Our recipe for chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal used as flour, are definitely a healthier cookie recipe option!

You can use flour made from oats and oatmeal in lots of cookie recipes. Replace up to one cup of flour with oatmeal flour and your cookie recipes should come out perfectly. You will not have to alter the baking powder, baking soda and salt when you make this switch. If you start to replace more that one cup regular flour with oatmeal flour, you will need to adjust the salt and leaveners so, stick to the one cup and keep your recipes simple. This is a fast way to make your recipe healthy and takes just a few minutes to do (flour made with oats is fast to make!).

Healthy Cookie Sweeteners

You may have noticed that our easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies use honey as the sweetener rather than granulated sugar, dark brown sugar or the light brown sugar that is usually found in cookie recipes. Honey is a more natural and healthy way to make delicious cookies. Honey has:

Antioxidants
is easier for the body to process
can help heal the gut
has antibacterial properties

It is a great replacement for granulated sugar or light brown sugar and still makes a perfect oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that is sweet, soft, chewy and amazing. Honey should be in every cookie recipe if you ask us! Give our chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal cookie blended recipe a try.

As you can see, our oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a healthy and delicious cookie recipe that you should definitely try.

Notes

Pro Tips:

If you like soft, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, bake the cookies for a little less time, reducing the minutes cook time to 8 or 9 minutes only. The cookies will look barely set in the center but, once out of the oven, they will continue to bake on the hot tray and give you a soft, chewy center that many of us love in an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Soft and chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the best! (However, if you are a crunchy chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal flour kind of person, then bake the cookies for a few more minutes to get that crunch you like).
Rather than use 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in this recipe, you can definitely replace the chocolate chips with raisins to make a chewy oatmeal raisin cookie. Our recipe works wonderfully for making chewy oatmeal raisin cookies as well. A soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookie can be made in a healthy way when you use this recipe thanks to the oatmeal flour, honey, and coconut oil. It won’t take you any more prep time to make this easy switch!
If you want to make our oatmeal cookie recipe but do not have coconut oil on hand, unsalted butter can work in it’s place. Soften the unsalted butter and use 1/4 cup of the butter in place of the coconut oil. The result will still be delicious, soft, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
Use two of these soft, chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to make an ice cream sandwich. Chocolate, vanilla and even coconut ice creams will all pair perfectly with these easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! About 1/4 cup of ice cream between two cookies will be the perfect amount.
