Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies (w/oatmeal)
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups dried cranberries (or about a cup and a half of fresh cranberries - my mom loves the cookies with fresh cranberries)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (I lightly greased mine by spraying cooking oil on paper towel and rubbing across cookie sheet.)
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir in the oats, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Roll dough into balls and place on cookie sheets. Flatten the tops slightly with your fingers (optional).
- Bake until cookies turn slightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. (They will finish setting up on the baking sheet if taken out slightly underdone, rather than getting too brown and hard.)
- Transfer to a wire rack until completely cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Contributor's Notes
These cookies are loved by both my mom and my grandma. I have never actually made them with dried cranberries as my mom really loves them with fresh but I am sure that with dried cranberries they would be delicious as well!
