Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Add Oats, Cranberries, and Chocolate Chips:
- Stir in the oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Shape and Bake:
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the baking time.
- Add-Ins: For a festive twist, mix in chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, or orange zest.
