Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate each before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and stir until the dough is well combined.
- Add Oats and Mix-ins: Stir in the old fashioned oats, quartered cranberries, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion Dough: Drop approximately one tablespoon of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until the cookies start to brown around the edges.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake and allow to cool on the cookie sheet before transferring to a rack.
- Fresh cranberries add a tart burst, but dried cranberries can be substituted if fresh are not available.
- Chop pecans finely if you prefer smaller nut pieces in your cookies.
- If you want a chewier texture, use old fashioned oats rather than quick oats.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
