Be prepared for these to go quickly! This recipe produces a big batch and you're going to need it. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the salty/sweet combo can't be rivaled. The addition of white chocolate pieces sends this cookie over the moon in flavor.

How To Make white chocolate oatmeal cookies with sea salt

  • 1
    In a medium bowl, combine the bread flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine sea salt.
  • 2
    In a mixer with paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy -- about one minute.
  • 3
    Scrape down bowl with a rubber spatula, then add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed just until combined. Scrape down the bowl again.
  • 4
    On low speed, add flour mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • 5
    With mixer still running on low, gradually add oats followed by white chocolate pieces, and mix just until all the ingredients are combined evenly. Do not overmix.
  • 6
    Form dough into a loose disk, wrap disk in plastic and let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours, but preferably overnight. (Don't skip this step!)
  • 7
    When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees, take dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  • 8
    Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll to about the size of a golf ball. Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2-1/2 inches apart.
  • 9
    Slightly press the center of each ball with your thumb and sprinkle with a few grains of sea salt on top.
  • 10
    Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, rotating cookie sheet once halfway through to ensure your cookies bake evenly.
  • 11
    Cookies are done when they are just set and not too brown.
  • 12
    Cool on a wire rack.
  • 13
    *I like to use bread flour in this recipe for a chewier cookie center, but all-purpose flour can be used as well if that's what you've got in your kitchen.
