Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chewy cookies, be careful not to overbake.
You can substitute other dried fruits like raisins or cherries for the cranberries.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
