Oatmeal cookies are what I like to call the ‘comfort food Cookie’.
This White Chocolate and Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie is adapted from the basic oatmeal cookie recipe found on the Quaker Oats oatmeal package.
My inspiration was the #fillthecookiejar challenge ‘FALL’ theme this month.
The aroma from the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg immediately made me think of Fall while the cookies were baking. I couldn’t wait for the cookies to come out of the oven, they smelled so delicious.
I had to taste the cookies immediately. OMGeee, they were so good. I ate about 5 of them before the second tray came out of the oven.
I didn’t think my ‘picky palate’ family would like these since they are not fans of oatmeal and white chocolate. It turned out I was totally surprised when grampy declared they were the best cookies he’s had in a long time (huh? I bake cookies at least 3 times a month . . .).
This is an easy recipe, from start to finish you can be done in an hour or maybe less.
- ¼ cup + 3 TBLS. butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup coconut sugar (Or use granulated sugar)
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- ¾ cup AP flour (I used ¾ white whole wheat flour)
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
- 1½ cups quick cooking oats
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 4 oz. Ghirardelli white chocolate squares chopped
- Cream butter and sugars. Add in the egg and vanilla and stir until blended.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir until well blended. Add in the oats and mix well. Stir in the white chocolate.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop drop dough onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool on cookie sheets for a couple of minutes and then remove to cool on wire racks.
A glass of milk and yummy oatmeal cookies for an afternoon snack can make your day extra special!
White chocolate, oatmeal, and cinnamon defintely sound liek a winning combination!
I love oatmeal cookies and these sound wonderful… and I would get them all if my husband knows there are cinnamon in them… better for me. I will just tell him 🙂
I haven’t combined oatmeal and white chocolate in a cookie. Your review sounds great, and I will have to give this a try!
Give it a try, you will be surprised, and let us know your thoughts.

These look yummy! I love oatmeal and made the Quaker Oats recipe many times, but I bet it is even better with white chocolate!
If you have a chance try the white chocolate, it works well.

YUM! I love oatmeal cookies and this one is no exception! I love the addition of white chocolate!
I haven’t made many cookies with white chocolate, but it works well with the oatmeal.

Thanks for stopping by Marlene and Velva. I love all cookies, but I was surprised when grampy loved these. I’m making them again tomorrow for his weekend treat.
I really enjoy a good oatmeal cookie too, and oatmeal cookies are a great way to fill up the cookie jar.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh Em Gee, they look good and I can smell the cinnamon coming though.
The best part about baking cookies is the aroma. These are really good.
Thanks for stopping by.
