How to Make Oatmeal Cocoa Chipper Cookies

My mom shared this recipe because it was one of my brother’s favorites growing up.  She has made many dozen for basketball teams, sports banquets, and other gatherings.  I honestly don’t remember eating them, but after trying them we made two batches in one week!

My son made the first batch of Oatmeal Cocoa Chippers and he learned it’s really important to mix all of the smooth ingredients well before adding the coarse ingredients like oats and chocolate chips.  He shared that he will always make sure the dough is mixed well and then add the chocolate chips last in the future.

Chocolate Oatmeal Easter Cookies

I made another batch and experimented with flavors.  Mix up all of the dough, except the chips and scoop onto the cookie sheet.  Add an additional chocolate candy or chips of your choosing.

Cadbury eggs taste great on top for Easter cookies.

We experimented with sprinkling both semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips on top.  Both tasted great, but our family prefers the original recipe with semi-sweet chocolate chips.

This Oatmeal Cocoa Chippers Cookie recipe can be easily adapted to make cookies for any holiday!

Tips for Making Oatmeal Cocoa Chipper Cookies
