✏️ How to make Oatmeal Chip Cookies:

*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper (or grease cookie sheets).
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 1 minute). Then add the sugars and beat for another minute. Add the eggs and beat for 2 more minutes.
Set the mixer aside and stir in the vanilla with a spoon or rubber spatula.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add to the batter and stir until you can no longer see white. Stir in the oats until well combined. Stir in the chips.
Drop by big rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are browned on the bottom.
Cool cookies on wire rack or on a plate for at least 10 minutes before eating.

➡️ Tips and Substitutions:

Use any chips you’d like! I suggest semisweet, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter or cinnamon!
Add in 1 cup of chopped nuts, if you’d like!
Rolled oats (old-fashioned) will give this cookie recipe a much nicer texture than quick-cooking oats.
