What if I can't find cinnamon roll flavored oatmeal packets?

If you can’t find cinnamon roll flavored instant oatmeal, use maple & brown sugar or apple cinnamon as alternatives. You can boost the cinnamon flavor by adding extra ground cinnamon and a touch of vanilla or nutmeg. These variations still give the cookies that warm, spiced profile.

Can I freeze Cinnamon Roll No Bake Cookies?

Yes, these cookies freeze well! After they’ve set completely, place them in a single layer in an airtight container or zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Why didn’t my cookies set properly?

If your cookies are too soft or didn’t firm up, it's likely due to not boiling the sugar mixture long enough or using too little oatmeal. Be sure to let the mixture boil for exactly 1 minute and gradually add the oats until the consistency is thick enough to scoop but not dry.

Instructions

Lay a Silpat mat or long sheet of foil on your countertop for dropping cookies later.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and almond milk. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, set a timer for 1 minute and stir constantly to avoid burning.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add 2 1/2 cups of the cinnamon roll oatmeal and stir. Add more if needed until the mixture is thick and semi-firm (not dry or runny).
Use a medium cookie scoop to drop cookie portions onto the prepared Silpat or foil. Cookies will begin to set quickly, so work fast.
Allow the cookies to cool and set completely at room temperature before storing or serving.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze in a single layer for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before eating.
Use maple & brown sugar oatmeal with added cinnamon if cinnamon roll flavor is unavailable.
Do not over-boil the sugar mixture—boiling longer than 1 minute may result in dry cookies.
