Chick Fil A Cookie Recipe
These cookies capture the essence of Chick-fil-A’s delicious foods. They are thick, big and filled with chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chips and oats. The combination of dark brown sugar and oatmeal keeps them soft and chewy.
Fresh from the oven, they offer an irresistible texture and flavor. Whether you’ve tried the original or not, these cookies will quickly become a favorite.
Serve them warm with a cold glass of milk for a delightful experience that mimics the famous restaurant cookies but can be even better.

Comparison to the Original Chick Fil A Cookie Recipe
In my opinion, our cookies are softer, possibly because I prefer to slightly under bake them. While many recipes recommend longer baking times, I personally can’t bring myself to do it 😂. I’ll always lean towards softer cookies, but you can bake yours longer if you prefer.
According to, Katarina frank a Chick-fil-A cookie enthusiast, she noticed their cookies had slightly more oats, but overall, she found the flavor to be spot on. I’ll consider that a win.
