Create soft, chewy oatmeal cookies balanced with tart dried cranberries and sweet white chocolate chips. This recipe delivers a flavorful harmony perfect for holiday baking or a simple weeknight treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) by hand until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls slightly flatter.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps set the chewy texture.

Notes

  • For the chewiest cookies, slightly underbake them. They will firm up as they cool.
  • If you prefer a stronger tart flavor, soak the dried cranberries in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry before adding them to the dough.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm; this prevents the cookies from spreading too thin.
