Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Add-ins

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries quartered
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time to ensure they are fully incorporated, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined without overmixing.
  6. Add Oats and Add-ins: Stir in the old fashioned oats, fresh quartered cranberries, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Shape Cookies: Drop approximately one tablespoon of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet for each cookie, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges for a perfect chewy texture.
  9. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Using fresh cranberries adds tartness, but dried cranberries can be substituted if fresh are unavailable.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature to achieve a creamy texture when mixing.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast pecans lightly before folding them into the dough.
  • Space cookies well on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging during baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
  • This recipe can be halved or doubled depending on desired yield.
