This is my long-time fall back chunky chocolate chip cookie, enriched with oats and soft brown sugar. I initially posted this recipe in 2012, so it is definitely time to revisit this firm favourite and update the recipe.
I used to call them Old Town Oaties as we used to live in Clapham Old Town, and I made these a lot for visiting friends, and they were always hugely popular. Having revisited the recipe and made some tweaks, I can confirm that these are still hugely popular!
But now i've updated them to Loaded Oaties because that's what they are - soft and oaty chunky cookies absolutely loaded with oozy chocolate chips. I like to use a combination of dark and white chocolate, but you can absolutely mix this up. Why not use dried fruit or if you like/can eat nuts, they'd make a nice addition.

Once recent variety i've been making is a Black Forest Loaded Oaty - crammed full of dark chocolate chips and dried cherries and then finished with a flourish of cocoa powder on top. I urge you to give them a go, they're superlative cookies!
