Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices throughout the dough.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  6. Add Oats, Cranberries, and White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure every cookie has a balanced mix of flavors and textures.
  7. Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until cookie edges turn golden brown.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by removing them at 10 minutes.
  • Substitute dried cherries or raisins for cranberries if preferred.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats; quick oats may alter texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
