Oatmeal Crisps are one of the best tasting cookies that I know! We love the soft and yet chewy consistency that they hold. They make the best of both worlds for my husband and myself because he likes crunchy and I like chewy. He likes to dip his cookies in milk and I do not. I just like to eat an extra cookie because I don’t have the calories of the milk.;)
The original oatmeal crisps recipe doesn’t call for chocolate chips, but I love to put mini chips in mine. I love oatmeal cookies and I love chocolate too. The mini chips just add to an amazing cookie, and make it even more amazing!
How has your summer been? I cannot believe that it is already August! Wow! I remember when my children were on year round school. It actually made me a little mad when it was time for my kids to go back to school. I am sorry, but eight weeks just is not enough time.
Now that I no longer have kids in school, now it is my grand kids going back to school. I think we have three weeks left and so I better get playing. Also, my daughter will be moving farther away from us and so it won’t be as convenient to visit. It will only be thirty five minutes away, but that is more than the twenty that it is now.

What did you do today? I bet you are jealous, I went and had a root canal. A few years ago, I had a silver filling taken out of my tooth. The tooth never felt right and so I went back to the dentist. He ground if off and sent me home. The same thing happened again. I went back to the dentist and he ground it off some more. I went home and it still wasn’t right and so I went back a third time, (third times a charm right)? It wasn’t right and I thought that I must be acting ridiculous. So I ignored the tooth.
Now here it is two years later and the dentist tells me today that the tooth had a crack in it and that is what caused infection in the root. Then he told me that I could either pull the tooth and have an implant, pull the tooth and have a bridge put in, or try a root canal.
I decided to try the root canal. I haven’t had a root canal for about six years and I had forgotten how not fun they are. Last time I had a root canal, I had foot surgery two weeks later and I decided that a root canal is better than foot surgery.
What Kind of Rolled Oats are Best in Oatmeal Crisps?
- Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are the best in Oatmeal Crips.
- They are made by steaming and rolling oat groats for faster cooking.
So today I just kept reminding myself that it would soon be over and that it wasn’t so bad. I was so happy to sit up shut my mouth and swallow. Don’t tell my husband that I admitted to shutting my mouth. Ha ha. The first thing I did when I got home was eat a oatmeal crisp while my mouth was still numb. It was so yummy.
I invite you to make some oatmeal crisps today. They are tasty and delicious. Save this recipe to make for your cute kids for the perfect after-school snack, or make some to put into their lunches.
If your family doesn’t like coconut, just leave it out. And the next time i make these, I will be extra nice and add some raisins to the batch. It is a pretty good size batch and so you could make one batch with just oatmeal, then add chocolate chips and then add some raisins; that way everyone will be happy.
I know that your family and friends are going to truly enjoy these oatmeal crisps. Let me know what you think, and thank you for all of your support. We love making delicious food and we love friends and family.

I love oatmeal in my baking and these look perfect and delicious..
They really are good. I hope that you get a chance to try them. Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment.
Hi,
Hi,
I had a bag of mixed dried apples, dates & raises so while I’m stuck indoorss during the covid-19 virus I decided oatmeal cookies could accommodate them. I also added dried cranberries for color, and told my husband they were oatmeal breakfast cookies, because otherwise he’d want chocolate chips in them and that would defeat my purpose of using up the dried fruit. He will eat these and love them. I liked it that the butter and both sugars were the same amount which got me off to a quick start creaming them without checking back to the recipe. Thanks. Gotta go and put the first batch in the oven!
That is great that you were able to use your dried fruit in these cookies. I love that idea. I hope that you and your husband enjoyed your cookies. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorites – your photos make my mouth water.
Thank you for the compliment on the pictures and for coming by. We have a few people in my family who don’t care for raisins so I usually use chocolate chips, but sometimes I put raisins in and surprise the ones who like raisins! Every now and then I even split the dough and do half and half. Enjoy.
Thank you for your recipe. I like to tweak recipes so I substituted 3/4 c. Olive oil for 1 c. butter, 1-1/2 c. maple syrup for the 2 c. sugars and used whole wheat flour instead of white. I added a few dashes of cinnamon and 2 dashes of nutmeg and chopped dried cranberries. I was worried about the loose consistency. I plopped about a tablespoon of the batter on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet then smeared it into about a 3” circle. They came out great, yummy & crispy.
It sounds like you have tweaked the recipe to make it healthier. I love making recipes healthier. Thank you for sharing your tweaks with us.
Oh no! Root canals are definitely NO fun. But at least you had these yummy cookies! They remind me of these oatmeal cookies I made in Cooking class in high school. They were THE BEST. I would make them at home all the time and just eat the dough until I felt sick hahahaha
The cookies definitely helped! I loved cooking in my high school cooking class – we always had a blast. I have to admit that I have eaten cookie dough until I got sick too! The good old days! I’m pretty sure that it would take much less cookie dough to make me sick than it did in my high school days. Thank you for your continued support! Have a great week.
Ha Ha, My husband also ate so much cookie dough he got sick. He stayed home from school one day to help her make cookies. They ended up making about three different kinds. I guess he ate a lot and now when we snitch he tells us we are going to get sick. So far so good. Thank you Kelly! Have the best week ever!!!

Amy,
I love all of your recipes that you posted on Thursday Favorite Things but I am partial to cookies, so stop by tomorrow since I am featuring them. I also pinned them so I can make them.
Hugs,
Bev
Thank you so much. I appreciate you featuring the cookies and I also appreciate you hosting. Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment. I hope that you enjoy the cookies.
Thank you sharing your link on the Classy Flamingos Blog Party we’ve enjoyed it. Come back soon. poinsettiadr.com
We love your party.
Before I make these (they do look delicious), I’m confused. How can Oatmeal “Crisps” be “soft and chewy?” I’m looking for the perfect CRISP oatmeal cookie.
These cookies are crisp around the edges, but soft or flexible in the center. If you cook them a little bit longer, not too long they will be a little crispier. Thank you for that great question. I hope this helps.
These were PERFECT! Crispy on the out side and chewy on the inside. I added the mini chips and my family is all so happy! This is the recipe I’ve been looking for!
Thank you so much. We are so happy that your family enjoyed the cookies, and we love that you found this recipe! Thank you for leaving a comment.
These oatmeal cookies were the best! Crispy edges and soft in the middle.
Thank you so much! I am so glad that you like them. The first time I made them I took them to a bakery in town and pretty much gave them away. I told a gentle man that they weren’t very good and he could have them for cheap. He told me next time I make cookies that aren’t very good to call him. He loved them too. 😉
