Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Use Instead of Oats and Oat Flour?

Oats and oat flour make up the bulk of these cookies- but if they are not something that you want to use, you could use almond flour or coconut flour and add some protein powder to make the cookies hold their shape.
For a bit of crunch and deliciousness, you can also add crushed cereal, rice Krispies and/or graham cracker crumbs into the mixture.

What Else Can I Add?

There’s a lot more that you can add to the mixture of these delicious cookies to make them more flavorful and lend them a bit of texture. Dried cranberries (or any other berries) for example, are a great choice because they don’t just add flavor but also enhance the look of the cookies.
If you want some additional flavor into your cookies, you can add a spoonful or two of peanut butter or almond butter, or any other nut or seed butter of your choice into the mixture. This will not just add some additional flavor into your cookies but will also make them more creamy and delicious and will help them set well too.
If nothing else works for you, you can add some lemon or orange zest into the cookie mixture to transform them into a nice summery sweet treat.

What Other Toppings Can I Use?

When it comes to topping these cookies, you can go crazy and it will still work out in your favor. And that’s simply because white chocolate has a nice subtle flavor that works with almost anything. You can choose to drizzle the cookies with some Nutella or Lotus Biscoff spread or even some caramel spread if you want to.
Another great idea is to sprinkle some chocolate flakes or sprinkles on them before you refrigerate them. You can even top the cookies with some chopped nuts of your choice- this will lend them a nice crunch factor too.

How to Store the White Chocolate Cookies

Your no-bake white chocolate cookies can be refrigerated for up to 7 days. Just use an airtight container to store them, so that they are fresh.
If you want to store your cookies for longer than that, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container or pop them in a Ziploc bag before you put them in the freezer. This will help keep away the freezer burn and you can store your cookies for up to 3 months there.
Remember that if you are planning on freezing the cookies, have a sheet of parchment paper between each layer of cookies to keep them from sticking to each other.

Tips & Tricks to Nail the Recipe

The recipe is super simple and easy to follow, no doubt, but having these additional tips and tricks up your sleeve can always help.

Want to lend your white chocolate cookies a bit of the original chocolate flavor, but without actually using milk chocolate? You can add a bit of cocoa powder to it to give the cookies an extra depth of flavor.
These no-bake cookies highly rely on refrigeration time to set well, and that’s exactly why you need to make sure you give them at least a couple of hours in there to firm up and hold their shape.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out equal-sized portions of the dough- this will help all your cookies have a perfect size.
To lend a bit of additional flavor to these cookies, you can add a bit of sea salt or kosher salt into the mixture. This will balance the sweetness of the cookies and keep them from tasting overly sweet.
While this recipe calls for the use of old-fashioned oats, you can use quick-cooking oats too. Just remember that your cookies will have a much softer texture, which is why you might want to consider skipping the oat flour and increasing the amount of quick oats you’re adding.
If you’re using the microwave to melt the chocolate, stir it at every 30-second interval to keep the chocolate from burning.
