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
1 3/4 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 sweetened cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly press the dough balls down.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra chewy texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
If you prefer nuts, substitute 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips with chopped pecans or walnuts.
These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
