Oatmeal cookies will always be my favorite. I’m not biased either—I love oatmeal creme pies, peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal scotchies, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, iced oatmeal cookies, and oatmeal raisin cookies all the same. Between my family’s recipes, my cookbooks, and my website, I have about 30 oatmeal cookie recipes under my belt. Today we’re using my favorite oatmeal cookie base recipe. We’re swapping raisins for dried cherries and adding plenty of sweet white chocolate. Let me list why you’ll love these.
These White Chocolate Chip Cherry Oatmeal Cookies Are:
Soft & buttery in the centers Slightly crisp on the edges Sweetened with brown sugar Loaded with oats Studded with sweet/tart cherries Cinnamon and nutmeg spiced (holiday perfect!) Pretty quick—only 30 minute chill time (just like white chocolate macadamia oatmeal cookies)
My cookie loving friends, it doesn’t get much better than this!!
Ingredients You Need
How to Make White Chocolate Chip Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
Do you like chunky cookies? Because these are PACKED!
Optional White Chocolate Drizzle
Because it’s fun to be extra, especially around the holidays, drizzle the baked cookies with melted white chocolate. This is completely optional, but it adds that extra something special. You need one 4-ounce white chocolate baking bar, such as Bakers or Ghirardelli brand, found in the baking aisle. Chop it up, then use the microwave or a double boiler to melt it down. I always use a squeeze bottle for drizzling, but a spoon works too. You could do the same drizzle on these white chocolate Biscoff oatmeal cookies, too. YUM!
The Return of the Slow Bend Cookie
Before I leave you with the recipe! I’ve used the term “Slow Bend Cookie” before. Like my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal M&M cookies, oatmeal scotchies, and oatmeal raisin cookies, these white chocolate chip cherry oatmeal cookies are soft in the centers with buttery crisp edges. They’re so chewy that the cookies won’t immediately break when you bend them. (Assuming you don’t over-bake the batch!) This is what I call a slow bend oatmeal cookie. There’s enough chew to make a salt water taffy jealous. 🙂 This recipe is part of my annual cookie countdown called Sally’s Cookie Palooza. It’s the biggest, most delicious event of the year!
