Also known as “secret ingredient oatmeal cookies” because Grandma would never tell us why her Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies were the best!! Thankfully, she told me recently and now I am able to replicate her amazing cookies for my kids!

Her SECRET ingredient is what makes them so amazing!

Grandma’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don’t even try to tell me that your mouth isn’t watering looking at these gorgeous cookies.  I am here to tell you that they taste as good as they look.  Grandma didn’t mess around, folks.    Everyone’s grandma had that one (or in my case, multiple) sweet treats that they would make.  No one could come close.  Grandma had her bag of tricks and every now and then she would share them with the world.  This Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe is just that.  Her secret?  Mayonaise.  WHAT??  Just trust me and try it.  If you doubt me, look at the pictures one more time.  Now, go get your ingredients ready.

Her SECRET ingredient is what makes these cookies so amazing!

You are going to love these amazing cookies!  I promise you won’t be able to taste the mayonnaise.  It will just add to the level of moisture in this cookie.  Making a soft, pull apart, most amazing oatmeal chocolate chip cookie you have ever tasted.

Tips, Tricks, and Variations

  • If you like oatmeal raisin cookies, you can substitute the chocolate chips for raisins.  I know of a few people who like both, go for it!  Just don’t’ skip the super secret ingredient!
  • Chopped pecans can also be added to this recipe for a different texture.
  • You can use other variations of oatmeal, just make sure it is prepared ahead of time before you add it into the recipe.

    It would be nice to know your estimate of the quantity for cookies and the servings for other dishes. Thank you for the recipe. I guess I’ll know how many the batch makes when I bake them up.

    Do you make the oats into oatmeal before adding it to the ingredients? In your tips section you mentioned it should be prepared before adding but in the recipe there isn’t a step for preparing the oatmeal. Can’t wait to try.
