Mom's Favorite Cookie Recipe

 I'm told these cookies are inspired by a Crumbl cookie flavor: Mom's Cookies.  I can neither confirm nor deny the truth of that assertion.  I can say that the flavor is not currently on the menu at my local Crumbl, nor did it show up in the list of past and present flavors that my search engine coughed up when I asked.  I will also say that these cookies are aptly named because they have quickly become this mom's favorite cookie*.  

Mom's cookies are an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and toffee bits.  I hope you try them and love them!

Mom's Favorite Cookies

Makes about 5 dozen cookies
(very slightly modified from here)
(click here to print)

  • 1 c softened butter
  • 1 1/2 c packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 c granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 t vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 c flour (use the scoop and shake method to measure--if you spoon and level, the cookies will spread waaaay too much
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t baking powder
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1 c oatmeal (I used quick oats)
  • 1 c semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 c peanut butter chips
  • 3/4 c toffee bits with milk chocolate (like these)

  1. Cream together 1 c butter, 1.5 cups brown sugar, and 1/2 c granulated sugar in a large bowl
  2. Beat in 2 eggs and 2t vanilla extract.
  3. Add 2.75 c flour, 1t baking soda, 1/2t baking powder, 1t ground cinnamon, and 1/2t salt and mix well.
  4. Stir in 1 c oatmeal, then stir in 1c semisweet chocolate chips, 1c peanut butter chips, and 3/4c toffee bits
  5. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookies onto parchment lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches in between cookie balls.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set.  Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
You can freeze the unbaked cookie balls so you can have fresh-baked cookies anytime.  You can bake from frozen--just add a minute or two to the bake time.


* I mean it's not far off from my previous favorite cookie, which is also an oatmeal cookie with chocolate and walnuts in it.
