There is one thing that comes up as the number one term searched for here on Taste and Tell over and over again. Cookies. You all like cookies.

But really, can you ever have too many cookie recipes?? This makes me wonder why it has taken me so long to post these cookies that I am bringing you today. I won’t even tell you how many months ago I actually made them. I guess I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to share them – and what better time than when we are in high baking mode for the holidays??

Why You Want to Make These Cookies

These cookies are chewy and chocolatey and have a little bit of fun mixed in by adding sprinkles. If I were to make them again right now, I’d opt for some red and green sprinkles to make them perfect for Christmas. But that’s the beauty of these cookies – change up the sprinkles for whatever occasion you are celebrating!

Tools You’ll Need

You will need either a blender or a food processor to process the oats in this recipe – there really aren’t any shortcuts around this step. The oats give a different texture and flavor to these cookies that is not the same as regular all flour recipes. It’s a great way to change things up!!

A cookie scoop is also helpful, although not required. It just makes it easier to make the cookies uniform.

Ingredients

Butter: You want the butter to be at room temperature, but not too warm. It should leave an imprint if you press your thumb into it. You only need to set it out on the counter about 30 minutes before you are making the cookies.

Sugar: You’ll use a mixture of both white and brown sugar.

Eggs: Set the eggs out on the counter when you set the butter out to bring them to room temperature, as well.

Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract is the best.

Oats: Use regular old-fashioned oats for this recipe.

Flour: I use all-purpose flour, and have not tested this recipe with any other flour.

Baking Soda and Baking Powder: You need both for these cookies, for texture and to give the cookies some lift.

Salt: This is for flavor and balance. I like to use sea salt.

Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are the best for these cookies (in my opinion) but feel free to switch this up!

Sprinkles: It’s pretty easy to find sprinkles in bulk containers at most grocery stores these days.

Storing and Freezing

These chocolate chip sprinkle cookies should stay fairly fresh for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You can store them in the refrigerator to make them last a little longer, but I think they tend to dry out more when stored in the refrigerator.

These cookies also freeze well! You can freeze either the dough or the baked cookies. For full instructions on how to freeze them, see my full guide on How to Freeze Cookie Dough.
