Linda’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipes
Written By Linda Secondari

Satisfy your winter holiday comfort cravings with a freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. In my recipe, cinnamon and nutmeg add complexity to the cookies’ flavor profile, and oatmeal lends a compelling texture (plus a hint of nuttiness). My oatmeal chocolate chip cookies also make a great shareable treat for neighbors and loved ones.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 butter

  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • A good pinch of cinnamon

  • A good pinch of fresh nutmeg

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 package (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

 
 
 
 

Directions

I’m Linda Secondari, founder of Studiolo Secondari and a publishing strategist with more than two decades of experience helping authors create books that resonate and find their audiences. I cut my teeth as an in-house Creative Director — most recently at Oxford University Press — where I partnered with editors, marketers, publishers, and authors to shape meaningful books and position them for real-world impact.

Those years taught me how books compete in a crowded marketplace: how they signal to readers, how they communicate value, and how they’re discovered. My work now centers on sharing that understanding with authors who want to produce books with clarity, intention, and a strong sense of where their place is.

I bring a blend of creative direction, editorial insight, and market strategy — all designed to help you approach your work with the mindset and confidence of a seasoned publishing professional.
