These White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are chewy, sweet, and packed with dried cranberries and creamy white chocolate chips. With a thick texture and rich flavor from dark brown sugar and oats, they're the perfect treat for the holidays or anytime you crave a comforting cookie.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 22 minutes
  • Yield: 28 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cups dried cranberries, divided
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate morsels, divided

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and brown sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat for another minute until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed just until combined.
  5. Mix in the oats on low speed until evenly distributed.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of the dried cranberries and 1 cup of the white chocolate chips, reserving 1/4 cup of each for topping.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Drop 2–3 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Press 2–3 cranberries and 2–3 white chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Centers may look slightly underbaked.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
  • To freeze dough, scoop into balls and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes.
  • Pressing white chocolate chips and cranberries on top after shaping the cookies makes them more visually appealing, but is optional.
  • Do not substitute quick oats — they will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
