Oatmeal Caramel Cookies
Chewy Oatmeal Caramel Cookies with drizzled chocolate are easy to make and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cup oats large flaked- not instant
- 3/4 cup coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 28 caramels unwrapped
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 ounces chocolate
Instructions
How to make the oatmeal cookies
- In medium sized bowl whisk together flour, oats, coconut, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl beat together butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Blend the flour mixture a bit a time into the butter and sugar mixture. Combine well, but do not over-mix.
- Using cookie scoop form 24 cookies. Press down slightly with a fork or bottom of a glass. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Bake 350 ºF for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
Prepare caramel topping
- Using a medium sized saucepan heat the cream and caramels on low heat until caramels are melted, stirring constantly. Keep a close eye on to avoid burning. You want to heat just until the caramels are melted.
- Top each oatmeal cookie with a dollop of caramel.
Prepare chocolate drizzle
- Melt 3 ounces of chocolate in the microwave at 50% power. A double boiler will also work to melt the chocolate.
- Using a fork drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.

These sound wonderful. Do you grease the cookie sheet?
Hi Barb, I always line my cookie sheets with parchment paper when baking cookies.
Did you use quick oats or old fashioned? I didn’t see an amount for the raisins/chocolate chips in the recipe
either.
Hi Carol, I always use old fashioned oats in my baking, and thanks for catching that I forgot chocolate chips in ingredient list.
These cookies were absolutely delicious. DH doesn’t like raisins so I substitued chocolate chips instead. I will be making these often. thanks Bev
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, my husband doesn’t like chocolate chips so I use raisins, but he’s just weird cause who doesn’t like chocolate chips!
Hi Becca, yes the caramel firms ups, to the consistency of a chewy caramel.
thanks Rasheed, I used an ice cream scoop and just slightly pushed them to about 1/2 inch, they flatten more as they bake. A small trick I used to make them all exactly uniform was while they were still hot cut out with circle cookie cutter. Trouble with this is you waste too much cookie.
Absolutely addictive…..thank you
I agree, can’t make them too often as I eat tooo many!!
