OPTIONAL MIX-INS
I love a plain oatmeal cookie, but if you want to jazz up your oatmeal cookies, you can add up to 1 cup of the following ingredients:
- Chocolate chips (dark or white)
- Chocolate chunks (dark or white)
- Chopped nuts
- Dried fruits, such as raisins or dried cranberries
- M&M’s
- Flaked coconut
- Chopped toffee
- Cinnamon chips
- Butterscotch chips
TIPS TO MAKE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES:
- Make sure the butter is softened, but not too soft.
- Measure the ingredients properly! A kitchen scale is always the best option, in my opinion, but if you don’t have a kitchen scale be sure to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (NOT liquid measuring cup), and liquid measuring cup for liquid ingredients. Also, do NOT dip a measuring cup directly into the flour bin or you can compact it and get up to 25% more flour, instead use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use a knife (straight-edged) to level the flour across the measuring cup.
- Don’t over mix your cookie dough or you will end up with a dense cookie.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking, this gives the dough a chance to firm up a little and allows them to bake much better.
- For evenly sized cookies (better for baking) use a small spring-loaded ice cream scoop to spoon out the dough.
- Bake the cookies until they are JUST golden around the outside. The cookies might still look a little raw in the center, but once they cool, they will be perfect. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for just a few minutes, around 2. If you leave the cookies on the baking sheets for too long, they will continue cooking and they will be hard.
HOW TO STORE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES
Store cookies in an airtight container up to 5 days at room temperature. To keep the cookies soft, place a piece of bread in the container. The bread will get hard, but the cookies will stay soft.
HOW TO FREEZE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES
You can freeze this cookie dough for up to 3 months. Just roll it into balls, and freeze. When ready to bake, pull them out and bake as directed, just add a couple of minutes to the baking time.

Eggless Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (210 gr) all-purpose flour

- ½ cup (100 gr) granulated sugar

- 1 ½ cups (150 gr) old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl over medium speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add milk and vanilla; mix until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in oats until evenly distributed.
- Use a small cookie scoop (1.5 to 2 TBS) to measure out the oatmeal cookie dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place on a cookie sheet or large plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 days.

- Place the cooled cookies balls evenly spaced, about 2 inches apart, on your prepared cookie sheet.

Hey can we use instant oats for the recipe?
Yes, you can, just keep in mind that it will change the texture of the oatmeal cookies.
Hi Oriana! I have 2 quick questions! Can you make this recipe with steel cut oats? And if you wanted to only make half of this recipe do you just have to divide this recipe by 2?
Hello Ramya! Steel-cut oats are less processed than rolled oats and have a chewier texture, even after cooking. I haven’t tested this recipe with Steel-cut oats, but my first thought is that it will significantly affect the texture. If you do try using this alternative ingredient, please let me know the outcome. Yes, you half the recipe just divide the ingredients by 2. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.🙂
Thanks for sharing this recipe.I tried this recipe using muesli instead of oats. But the cookies came out well still with the same quantity of ingredients used. I substituted butter with butter ghee, plain flour with whole wheat flour and used half jaggery and half brown sugar for sweetness. The cookies were soft and perfect in texture and taste to enjoy with a cup of tea/ coffee.
The baking time of 12 minutes was perfect for my cookies.
I recommend this recipe to anyone wanting to try healthy wholesome oats cookies recipe.
Hello Charu! I am so glad to know that this recipe work well with muesli. Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
Delicious! Our new favorite cookies (with chocolate chips as a mix in).
Hello Kristen! I’m so glad you enjoyed these. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
