- Stir in the flour and oats.

Recipe Tips
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will allow the cookie dough to come together more easily.
- The cookie dough may be refrigerated to bake later.
- If you’re lighter on the baking time, these cookies will be more tender. The longer you bake them, the crispier they’ll be.
- Be sure to let the cookies cool on a rack to let the chocolate set. Then they’ll be fine to stack.
Chocolate Chunk Variations:
- Use chocolate chips (any flavor) in place of chocolate chunks.
- I like chopped milk chocolate in these cookies too (instead of dark).
- Chopped white chocolate may also be used.
- Butterscotch chips taste pretty amazing in these cookies.
How to store cookies:
To store cookies at room temperature, let them cool completely. Then store them in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
To freeze cookies, wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and then drop them into a large freezer baggie. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
What You’ll Love About These Cookies:
- They’re delicious, and everyone you share them with will think they’re delicious too.
- These cookies freeze well. Then you can save some to enjoy later!
- They are fun step-up from making traditional oatmeal cookies.
