White Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

It was the first day of school. My arms were heavy with books and notebooks. I walked down the hallway looking for my locker. The number and location were on a small piece of paper from the office. Kids all around were talking, laughing, and getting ready for the day. I knew there was little time before class. The combination to the lock would not work. I tried several times and became very frustrated. Suddenly the bell rang and I woke to find myself in bed and realizing it was another crazy dream. I went to the kitchen, poured a cup of coffee, and ate a couple of white chocolate chip oat cookies.

Cookies for breakfast? Well, they do have oats in them. They also have white baking chips, coconut and walnuts. A lot of flavors are packed in them. These are cookies I’ve made many times over the years. I found the original recipe in one of those little books by the cash register at the grocery store. It was way back in 1990. The cookies have been a hit wherever I’ve taken them. I’ve donated them to bake sales and they always sold quickly. The great thing is the recipe makes 5 dozen cookies (if you don’t eat too much of the dough like, um, perhaps some people like me).

My back to school dream was sparked by a theme. There’s a new group called the Creative Cookie Exchange where bakers and bloggers share recipes each month based on a theme. CCE is hosted by Laura of The Spiced Life and Rebecka of At Home With Rebecka. And this month’s theme? You guessed it: Back To School. You can join in the fun too. Scroll down to see the details and find links to more great cookies.

What kind of cookie is your favorite? Do you like chewy, crunchy, soft, filled, or frosted? It varies with me and depends on my cravings. There’s seasonal ones too like Christmas Crunchies. I see a lot of cookies in my future thanks to this new group. Stay tuned…
