Christmas Oat Drops
These Christmas Oat Drops are a soft, flavourful oat cookie that you can make festive for the holidays with the addition of red and green white chocolate chips!
Welcome to my Christmas Cookie Week! Starting today, over the course of the next 5 days, I will be sharing 5 delicious Christmas cookie recipes that you can make this holiday season. All recipes are simple, use straightforward ingredients and can be frozen to enjoy later. Just what you need during this busy time of year!
Christmas Cookie Exchange
All of these recipes are perfect for a cookie exchange too! Invite some friends to make 2 dozen of their favourite cookies, then exchange them amongst your party and everyone will leave with a treasure of homemade cookies. So fun!
Set up a pretty table, put some holiday tunes on and start the coffee pot!
Gifts from the Kitchen
Big batch cookie baking is also great for gift giving! Wrap up little packages to share with your friends and family…there’s nothing more lovely than gifts from your kitchen.
Christmas Oat Drops
Now let’s get to the cookies! The first recipe I am going to be sharing for my Christmas Cookie week are these Christmas Oat Drops. This is a delicious soft and chewy oat cookie made festive with some fun red and green white chocolate chips. You can find fun coloured baking chips in most baking aisles or bulk food stores during the holiday season. They’re a really fun way to dress up a classic cookie batter.
Just watch out for cookie snatchers! 😉
Festive, pretty and delicious!
