    Taste and Occasion

    So how do the oatmeal cookies get chewy? In my experience, it's a combination of several factors. For one, the perfect American oatmeal cookies require both white and brown sugar.

    The different caramelization of the two types makes the cookies crispy on the outside, but still slightly soft on the inside.

    Second, the oat cookies should definitely not be baked too long. It's easy to be fooled. After 10 minutes, some of the oatmeal cookies still seem extremely soft. However, they harden as they cool. Just gradually feel your way to the perfect consistency. 10-13 minutes is a good starting point.

    The ingredients of the chocolate oat cookies are absolutely basic: butter, egg, sugar, flour as well as oatmeal, of course. The cookies taste good on their own, but even better when refined. With chocolate drops, for example. Or raisins. Or a good portion of vanilla and cinnamon.

    For the plain oatmeal cookies, I prefer using tender flakes. Sometimes a mixture of about three-quarters tender, one-quarter seeded oatmeal. The dough is made in a matter of minutes.

    How to make the Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

    The preparation of the chewy chocolate chip otameal cookies is not only fast but super simple, as well. First, beat soft butter with brown and white sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy. Then, stir in one egg.

    For the next step, add all the dry ingredients except the chocolate drops. Finally, fold in the chocolate drops and then refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.

    Preheat your oven to 374°F/190°C. Take small portions of dough with a spoon and form it into balls with your hands. Space these out on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

    Healthy Cookies For Kids

    These quick kids' cookies don't require butter, egg or milk and taste great to adults, too. If you like, refine the Clean Eating Cookies with spices or cocoa nibs.

    Flatten the balls slightly. Now, bake the cookies for about 10-13 minutes. They may or should still be slightly soft.

    The best recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Top Tip

    You can then either bake the oatmeal-chocolate cookies directly. Or - for a particularly great consistency - leave the mixture in the refrigerator for about half an hour. The result is that the oatmeal cookies don't run so flat in the oven and stay really nice and thick.
