National Chocolate Chip Day is coming up on Sunday, May 15 — but who really needs an excuse (or a specific day or time) to make a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies?
For Texas mother Jennifer Fleming, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have been sitting on her kitchen counter regularly, ever since she was a little girl.
“I developed a love for cooking and baking through my mom. One of my favorite recipes to bake belongs to my mother’s friend, Sandra Killian.”
Killian, a Beaumont, Texas resident, created the “Beaumont Texas Chocolate Chip Cookies” decades years ago.
They have since made quite the rounds with friends and family.

Fleming said she started baking these cookies when she was raising a family of her own — and they’ve become a staple in her household.
“My children, as well as my husband Scott, absolutely love the recipe,” she said.
Jennifer’s daughter, Izzy, said these cookies have been in her life … maybe forever.
“Growing up, when I saw the Kitchen Aid come out of the cabinet, I knew it was about to be the best day,” she said. “My siblings and I would hover over my mom, fighting to lick the beater.”
During the pandemic, Izzy Fleming joined an email chain with friends across the country to share their favorite recipes.
When picking the one to share, she said the Beaumont Texas Chocolate Chip Cookies were the ones she knew would put a smile on someone’s face. Celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day 2022 on Sunday — or any day — with your new favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe, shared below.
