Cinnamon oatmeal rounds are a delightful treat that brings together the comforting flavors of cinnamon and oats, creating a cookie that’s both wholesome and indulgent. These cookies have roots in traditional oatmeal cookies but are elevated with a generous dose of cinnamon, which has a long history as a beloved spice used in sweet and savory dishes. Perfect for a cozy afternoon snack or a sweet breakfast treat, these rounds are easy to make and sure to please anyone with a love for the rustic charm of oats and the warm aroma of cinnamon.
Cinnamon oatmeal rounds are wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed on their own with a cup of tea or coffee. For a more decadent treat, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair beautifully with fresh fruit, such as sliced apples or pears, which complement the cinnamon flavor. For a savory twist, try serving them alongside a sharp cheddar cheese, as the sweetness of the cookies can balance the cheese’s tang.
Cinnamon Oatmeal Rounds
Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations & Tips
For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. If you prefer a chewier texture, replace half of the rolled oats with quick oats. For a hint of spice, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves along with the cinnamon. You can also substitute whole wheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour for a heartier cookie. If you’re a fan of raisins, add 1/2 cup of raisins to the mix for a classic oatmeal raisin flavor.
