Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

These Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies really are the best of both worlds (part ANZACS + part choc chip bikkie = one totally DELICIOUS cookie!!). 

Sometimes in life you have to make big decisions. Like whether to make chocolate chip cookies or ANZACS. Yep, I’m talking about the BIG issues here today. But what if I told you that you didn’t have to make that terribly hard decision ever again…

What if I told you that a cookie existed that had the very best bits of chocolate chip cookies AND the very best bits of ANZACS all in ONE DELICIOUS COOKIE!! I know, I know… I’m excited too.

You guys know how much I adore my chocolate chip recipe, and ANZACS are very special to me, so I was a bit worried that I would totally ruin this recipe by combining my two faves… but trust me, nothing was ruined at all. Not even in the slightest.

These gorgeous Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are absolutely perfect. They have just the right balance of oaty-goodness to chocolate chip-fabulousness.

They crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just how I love my cookies. Of course, if you prefer them chewy, decrease the cooking time slightly, and vice-versa for extra crunchy ones!

These Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are one of those super quick and easy recipes that make the perfect little lunch box filler. But if you do that, you must absolutely promise me that you’ll keep a few for yourself.

PS – I know this is naughty and you’re not meant to eat cookie dough… but totally nibble on the cookie dough while you’re rolling the balls (I didn’t tell you this – but it’s SOOO good!).
