You will make wonderfully chewy cranberry oatmeal cookies. This recipe balances the tartness of cranberries with sweet oats, resulting in a perfect holiday or anytime treat. We planned this recipe carefully for the best texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 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 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (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 cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and any optional mix-ins like white chocolate or nuts.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are 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 extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake them; they will firm up as they cool.
  • If you prefer a nut-free cookie, simply omit the pecans or walnuts.
  • We find that chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
