I love a classic oatmeal cookie. They are so delicious and definitely one of my favorite types of cookies. However, for this recipe I wanted to add a little bit of sweetness with white chocolate chips. This white chocolate oatmeal cookies recipe may just become your new go-to.
Why you’ll love these white chocolate oatmeal cookies:
- Adaptable: You can make a gluten-free or vegan version of these cookies. See my notes below
- Quick: Prep them in 20-minutes and have them ready in less than 35-minutes
- Customizable: Add in dark chocolate or milk chocolate or omit the chocolate completely
Ingredient Notes:
Oats: I use old fashioned oats in my baking recipes like this. Old fashioned oats are different from quick oats as they are whole oats and are rolled to flatten them out. They are also prepared differently and I find the texture just works better for cookies.
Flour: I used Bob’s Red Mill’s All-Purpose Flour here. Did you know this flour of theirs has 10-12% protein content to really help with the texture of the cookies and other baking? It’s also unbleached so there are no weird bleaching agents added to it.
How to make white chocolate oatmeal cookies:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir till combined and set aside.
2. In another mixing bowl, add the butter, sugars, orange zest, and vanilla. Beat with a mixture for 1 minute. To the mixture, add the egg and beat for another 30 seconds.
3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine using a spatula. Fold in the white chocolate and form a ball. Cover with a cloth and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
5. Portion out the balls into 24 equal balls. Around 1 1/2 -2 inch balls.
6. Place them onto the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
7. Allow the cookies to rest of the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack till completely cooled.
Expert Tips & FAQ:
How do I make these cookies gluten-free? If you are gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour with xanthan gum. I love Bob’s Red Mill’s.
How do I make this recipe vegan? Use a vegan egg or 1 flax egg to replace the egg.
Chocolate: If you are not a fan of white chocolate, then use any other chocolate. f you are not a fan of chocolate at all, then replace it with nuts, seeds, or raisins/cranberries.
