Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until glossy and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats until the dough thickens.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries and 1 cup white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look soft. They will firm up as they cool.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or vegan butter and dairy-free white chocolate chips. Chilling dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps cookies keep their shape and texture. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft inside. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture.
