Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups rolled oats
- 1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dry cranberries
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- Optional: ⅓ cup white chocolate chips for drizzle
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with brown sugar until very creamy. This is an essential step for the cookies to remain soft; you’ll need about 5 minutes to achieve the desired texture. Then add one egg at a time and whisk well after each addition. At last, add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Fold in cranberries and chopped walnuts and stir until combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate it for one hour. (If you’re going to leave it for more than one hour, it is good to pre-scoop the cookies to have them ready to bake).
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough using a 1.5 tbsp ice cream scoop and lightly flatten the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set and slightly brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to the cooling rack, or they might break.
- Optional: drizzle your cookies with melted white chocolate.

Notes
- Store these cookies in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. While in the fridge they will harden a bit, but they’ll remain moist, you can reheat them in the oven for a crunchy bite.
