Make soft, chewy cranberry oatmeal cookies featuring white chocolate chips. This simple recipe delivers a perfect balance of tart cranberries and sweet chocolate, ideal for holiday baking or a quick homemade 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 salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and pecans (if using). Mix until the add-ins are evenly distributed.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set but still soft. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • To achieve the chewiest cookies, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats.
  • For a festive look, slightly press extra white chocolate chips and cranberries onto the tops of the dough balls before baking.
  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans or omit nuts entirely.
  • Make ahead: You can chill the dough for up to 3 days before baking. Add 1-2 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold dough.
