Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

This Giant Oatmeal Cookie is perfection. It is about the size of a hand and just enough for 1-2 people! It’s crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle. You can dress this cookie up three different ways with the variations below. My favorite is the Salted White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie but the Lemon Cookie is close behind. My husband will always pick the Oatmeal Raisin.

How to Make a Giant Oatmeal Cookie

• Place softened butter in a bowl and add in sugars, vanilla and egg. You are only using 1 Tbsp of beaten egg, not the whole egg.

• Add in dry ingredients including cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
• Stir in raisins (or chocolate chips) and chopped nuts if desired. I like to use walnuts or pecans.

• Form cookie dough into a 3 1/2 inch wide disc and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

• Bake at 350 degrees F. until cookie is lightly golden brown on the edges and soft in the middle, about 12 minutes.

How To Make A Giant Lemon Oatmeal Cookie

• Follow the directions for the giant oatmeal cookie, but use all white sugar instead of half white and half brown sugar.

• Add in lemon extract, lemon juice and lemon zest along with the wet ingredients.

• Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes and allow cookie to cool.

Giant Salted White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie

This giant oatmeal cookie is my favorite. I love the combo of the sweet and the salty together and I am a white chocolate fan.

• Follow the giant oatmeal cookie recipe but leave out the cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and nuts.
• Add in 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips. Reserve a few chips to place on top of the cookie before baking.
• Sprinkle top of cookie dough with some flaky sea salt.

• Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
• Allow cookie to cool on a baking rack.

All three of these cookie versions are delicious and you are going to have a hard time picking a favorite.

A Giant Oatmeal Cookie is perfect for when that cookie craving hits and you don’t have time or need to make an entire batch. It’s the perfect size cookie for you and enough to share. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk!
