Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a cozy 350F (175C), preparing baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for a smooth baking experience.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whip the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until they transform into a cloud-like, airy mixture.
- Gently incorporate eggs one at a time, ensuring thorough blending after each addition. Infuse the mixture with a splash of vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
- Separately, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt in a whisking motion, creating a harmonious dry ingredient blend.
- Gradually marry the dry ingredients into the creamy butter mixture, stirring with a delicate touch until just integrated.
- Fold in hearty rolled oats, tart dried cranberries, and creamy white chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Craft uniform dough balls, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons in size, and arrange them elegantly on prepared baking sheets with ample breathing room.
- Slide the sheets into the preheated oven, allowing the cookies to transform for 10-12 minutes until edges develop a golden hue while maintaining soft, tender centers.
- Let the cookies rest momentarily on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack, permitting them to cool completely and develop their final delectable texture.
Notes
- Soften butter completely at room temperature to ensure smooth, even mixing and perfect cookie texture.
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best chewy consistency and hearty mouthfeel in these delightful cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thick, robust cookie shape.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
