They have that soft and chewy texture that’s so characteristic of oatmeal cookies and they only take 10 to 12 minutes to bake. Try them and I think they may become your favorite oatmeal cookie recipe.
What Type of Oats To Use?
Either quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats can be used. Old-fashioned will result in heartier, chewier texture.
Equipment Needed For White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
- Electric Mixer- either hand-held or stand mixer. I prefer using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Parchment Paper
- 2 Baking Sheets
- Wire Rack
Don’t Overmix
Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough when you add the flour or you will have tough cookies. Just mix on LOW until all of the flour is incorporated.
Use an Ice Cream Scoop
To quickly form uniform-shaped cookies, use a medium spring-loaded ice cream scoop.
For extra flavor, add about 1/2 cup of Craisins.
Storage
Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for 5 to 6 days.
