Make these soft and chewy oatmeal cookies filled with tart dried cranberries and sweet white chocolate chips. This recipe is perfect for holiday baking or a comforting homemade dessert.

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 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 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, 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, and white chocolate chips by hand. If using, fold in the chopped nuts now.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker, chewier cookies, slightly press the dough balls down.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 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.

Notes

  • For the chewiest texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute fresh cranberries for dried, but chop them finely and consider tossing them with a teaspoon of sugar to balance the tartness.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
