- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:

How to make White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix well. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until completely incorporated. Fold in the oats and white chocolate chips.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes (do not overcook). Remove from cookie sheets and let cool.
Storage Suggestions
If you manage to not eat the whole tray of cookies immediately, these White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
- Counter: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 4 days at room temperature. If you want to try and get the cookies to last even longer without becoming crumbly cookies, add a slice of bread into the container of cookies. The bread will give the cookies something to draw moisture from.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in a single layer for up to 7 days in a refrigerator.
- Freezer: You can freeze precooked cookie dough for cookies later. Just roll out and freeze for 30 minutes, and then transfer to an airtight, freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. To store cooked cookies, let them cool completely before you put them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.


















It’s all about the dough for me… when I make cookies I eat the dough and the family eats the cookies…
Wow those look incredible, definitely need to give this a try!
Happy Blogging!
Happy Valley Chow
Holy Cow!!!! These look amazing, and I am going to make them tomorrow! And yeah…..I’ll be eating a bunch of dough, too! LOL I love both!
I’m totally a cookie dough lover too. Sometimes I make cookies for no other reason than because I’m in the mood for some dough.
I love oatmeal and white chocolate is my favorite. I will definitely make these. How do I print the recipe?
Thank you.
Cookie dough is DEFINITELY better!!! Or a Pazooki — microwaving a bit of cookie dough for about 20 seconds and then putting ice cream on top! YUM!
Too bad my husband just found out he is gluten intolerant and dairy intolerant and egg intolerant:(
Can you make these into pan cookies? I thnk they would be great that way.
This recipe has no flour?
I like cookies,but I do not want them soft and doughy in the middle. Cookie dough has a very strange texture. I am definitely Team Well-baked Cookie!
Oh YUM!!!
I’m with you that it is cookie dough all the way!! Growing up, my mom and I would make cookie dough, eat it and never even make cookies. I have taught my girls the same thing, but now we have to actually make some cookies because my husband loves them cooked only. Have a great Memorial Weekend!!
Hi, before I make these, tell me how many calories please? thanks
would they still be as good if I added much less sugar?
I am a cookie dough girl and can’t wait to try this dough!
In the ingredients it lists 3 cups of flour. We have never made them into pan cookies, but see no reason why it wouldn’t work. Best of luck, keep us posted.
Since our blog is under construction, our print friendly buttons are not quite up and running yet. Hopefully this next week.
I’ve tried this recipe before and it’s wonderful!!! This time I added 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup less of the flour. Really delicious!
My family thought these cookies were awesome!! I thought the consistency was great. I did grind my oats in my food processor since I buy the old fashioned kind. I do that for all of my oatmeal cookie recipes though. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Cant wait to try these out! If your interested, check out my blog! 🙂 bakingeatingblogging.blogspot.ie
Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats? What is the dif. between the two?
We always use instant oats. Rolled oats are bigger than instant oats and take a little longer to cook. If a recipe calls for instant oats, but you only have rolled oats, no problem. Hope this helps!
I just whipped up a batch of these and added some Trader Joe’s pumpkin and freshly ground cinnamon. Oh my, your initial recipe was already delicious, but the extras totally kicked them up a notch!
Yummy! Leave in the oven more like 12 mins until golden brown. I placed them on parchment paper and they are delicious. I got four full cookie sheets out of the recipe. I will definitely be baking these again.
Don’t make these with margarine- they spread out into one big carmalized pan cookie mush- not pretty!
These cookies are heaven! Another great recipe from six sisters!
amazing cookies! i did need a bit more cooking time though but they tasted incredible!!! thanks heaps for such a successful recipe 🙂
Made these once before and the whole house loved them so Im making them again today. Awesome cookie recipe!
So it has to be butter, not margarine? Also, how many cookies does this recipe make?
You could make this recipe using margarine too. Or even half margarine and half butter. We have done that before in recipes.
Made these. Yum!
Can you use unsalted butter ? The recipe didn’t specify.
We love these cookies. I’ve made them both with all white chocolate chips as the recipe states but also with half milk chocolate chips and half white chocolate chips with great results! Using some milk chocolate chips tones down the sweetness just a bit which my family loves. Great cookies either way!
This was a very easy recipe. I wanted to suggest adding a couple of dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg. These two spices really enhanced the flavor of the cookies. These are my new favorite cookies. Thank you for the recipe!
Wonderful recipe!
The recipe actually calls for rolled oats over instant oats.
I’m sure they will still turn out but I read the note after I already added rolled oats 😊
