Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly butter or spray 2 large baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in corn syrup. Beat in eggs until light and creamy, then vanilla extract. In separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into butter mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of milk. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop heaping tablespoons (15 mL) of batter onto prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake for about 15 min or until golden around the edges yet soft in centre. Let baking sheets cool and repeat with remaining batter.
Tips
Variation:
Add 1 cup (250 mL) dried cranberries or tart cherries and 3/4 cup (180 mL) chopped toasted walnuts or almonds with chocolate chips.
To make ahead:
Drop dough onto baking sheets, freeze until firm. Transfer to airtight container; freeze for up to 3 months. Place frozen dough on prepared baking sheets; let stand at room temperature for 10 min. Bake as directed, increasing baking time to 18 min if necessary.

These cookies were more fluffy than chewy for me. Good but not exactly what I was looking for in a soft and chewy cookie. I put in more oats because the batter was very runny. Anyhow they're fine but not amazing.

Corn syrup? Really? With all the fuss lately surrounding high-fructose corn syrup, I'm surprised at this ingredient. Why not substitute it with honey or even molasses? Much healthier choices with the same amount of sticking factor.

Don't make these if you want "chewy" oatmeal cookies, while they are "soft" as the description indicates, they are not chewy what-so-ever. I would not make these again without adjustments.
