Buttery Oatmeal Cookies

Modified: Apr 13, 2024 · Published: Jan 21, 2011 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 14 Comments

Some of the best recipes appear when you're least expecting it. For instance, I found this one two days ago while searching for the source of a strange smell on our street. Hoping maybe there was news about the odor, I searched Internet neighborhood news for clues. I didn't find any mention of the odor, but I did run across what appeared to be a newsletter for our neighborhood with a recipe exchange. Woo hoo! Upon further inspection, I realized it was just a promotional page from some realtors and that all the recipes in the "exchange" were from Nestle. Not that that was a problem, because they were tested recipes that I wasn't aware of and one of them was called Buttery Oatmeal Cookies.

What I like about this recipe is the combo of oatmeal, coconut, nuts, and a handful of corn flakes. They are more like shortbread cookies than typical oatmeal cookies thanks to all the butter.

Update: I still need to put this one in recipe card format. For some reason I made these and didn't make them again which is weird because they were very good.

Buttery Oatmeal Cookies

¾ cup butter, softened (I used salted)
½ cup sugar
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour (fluff flour before you measure or weigh out 9 oz)
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup crushed corn flakes
½ cup rolled oats
¼ cup flaked coconut
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar in large mixing bowl. Add egg and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking soda and salt and stir until incorporated. Stir in all remaining ingredients by hand -- this is a really thick dough.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten a bit. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serving Size: 48

    I have a similiar recipe that is topped off with a glaze. The recipe is called Spellbinders and can also be found on searching the net. Those are my most favorite cookie that my mom baked when I was a kid.

    Am I the only one who sees humor in having to add chocolate chips to a recipe from the Nestle recipe collection?

    If you throw in some chocolate chip cookies these will be called Buffalo Chip cookies! BCC are our family favorite and I make them ALL the time! My daughter and I love them straight out of the freezer!

    Kind of sounds interesting to have oats and all that in a shortbread type cookie.
