What You Need to Make the BEST Copycat Chick Fil A Cookie
Instructions
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cup instant oats
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup unsalted butter , room temperature
- 2 tbsp maple syrup , (or honey)
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks)
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks)
How to Make The BEST Copycat Chick Fil A Cookie Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, instant oats, old fashioned oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix to combine, then set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Slowly beat in the eggs, one a time, until combined. Then mix in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture and mix to combine. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
- The cookie dough will be thick and sticky. Chill the dough for 3 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop (like this one), take 1 1/2 tbsp of cookie dough and evenly place them on the prepared cookie sheets, 2 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are just starting to turn brown. Don’t overbake! The centers will look gooey and underbaked.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. (The cookies will continue to “set” while it cools, but I usually can’t resist eating a cookie or two by this point!).
- Once cooled, store the Chick Fil A cookies in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for 1 week. ENJOY!

Hi,
I noticed you have instant oats and old fashioned listed but not in the directions. Can you clarify that please? Thank you!
Hi Sharla! You mix them together in step 2 🙂 I had initially written “oats” to indicate both instant and old-fashioned oats in step 2, but I’ve updated it for more clarity. Thank you for asking!
Thank you!
Ok I have to ask! I made these cookies last week and they were the best copycat recipe I’ve tried yet but they literally just melted into flat discs. But they were so good we peeled them off the cookie sheet and ate them all crumbly (ha) . I just came back to this recipe to see what I could do differently when making them again and the recipe is very different from the one I have printed off from last week. Did you change the recipe recently? Before I try them again I wanted to see how I could adjust what I did last time but your quantities are different! Now I think I’ve just confused myself. Hahaha

Hey Christina! You’re totally not confused – I retested the recipe this last week and and was able to make some changes to the quantities to make the cookies hold up MUCH better, but with the same great taste, just like the original ChickFilA cookies! Hope you give it a try 🙂
great recipe! it was very easy and indeed tastes like chickfila’s cookies.
wow you really nailed this recipe, Michelle! I’m a self-professed Chick-Fil-A cookie snob, and I think this is pretty darn close!
holy cow!! it really DOES taste like THE chick fil a cookies! My daughters couldn’t get enough of these. Is it bad that we ate the entire batch in one day? 😉
Hey Lacey!
Thanks so much for the fantastic feedback! I’m so glad that you and your girls loved the recipe – my husband and I can’t get enough of it ourselves!
