These oatmeal chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar are absolutely delicious! Perfect for those days when you’re out of ingredients but still want cookies! I love that these actually taste like oatmeal cookies…not just like sugar cookies with a couple flakes of oatmeal in them. Because nobody wants that! My kids totally devoured these cookies! They are my most honest critics for sure. They don’t always tell you they don’t like something. But if my toddler asks for seconds, you can bet he likes it.
Why You’ll Love These Oatmeal Cookies Without Brown Sugar
You Can’t Tell There’s No Brown Sugar– honestly this was a big goal for me. Brown sugar usually makes cookies tender and chewy…like a cookie SHOULD be. So the whole point of these cookies is to help in a pinch and don’t have time to run to the grocery store, but also want a yummy baked good.
They’re So Fast- I love that you don’t need to chill the dough or anything like that. Simply whip it together, scoop into balls, and bake. It’s that easy!
So Chewy- to me the only way to eat cookies is to have them chewy. I don’t like crunchy or cakey nearly as much as the texture of an ooey, gooey, chewy cookie! These totally fit the bill! The key is to not over-bake them. Over-baking is SO easy to do (happens in as little as a minute or two) and it really takes an above-average cookie and makes it super-mediocre.
Ingredients In Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar
Salted Butter– keeps these cookies soft and chewy!
Granulated Sugar– adds sweetness and flavor to the dish!
Egg– provides structure and binds the cookies together so they’re not too crumbly!
Flour– just all-purpose will do!
Cornstarch– a secret ingredient! Keeps these cookies softer even though there isn’t brown sugar!
Baking Powder– allows these cookies to rise!
Cinnamon– adds complex flavor to this classic dish!
Salt– I’m so passionate about adding salt to baked goods!
Rolled Oats– because what would oatmeal cookies be without the oatmeal?
Chocolate Chips– little pockets of deliciousness that make this dish oh-so-scrumptious.

FAQ’s
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
Yes, I recommend freezing them in dough balls and storing in a sealed freezer bag for up to a few months!
What Is The Secret To Making Oatmeal Cookies Without Brown Sugar?
The key is to not over-bake! Brown sugar is more forgiving, but if you bake them too long they will be hard and crunchy. Definitely not what we’re going for with oatmeal cookies! Another key is to make sure to include the corn starch. This will keep the texture nice and soft as well!
Can I Substitute Other Mix-Ins In These Cookies Without Brown Sugar?
Absolutely! I recommend nuts, M&M’s, chocolate chunks, butterscotch or white chocolate chips, raisins, or dried cranberries. You can totally do more as well!
