Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature, 1 stick
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup dried cranberries plus more for sprinkling on top
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Add softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Set to medium speed and mix for 3 to 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla and mix for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to the bowl and mix at low speed for 30 seconds, just until no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Add oats, cranberries and white chocolate and mix at low speed for about 1 minute, until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a 1.5 tablespoon-size spring loaded cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies on each prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Add a couple cranberries on top as soon as they come out of the oven.
  7. Let cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack until completely cool.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature.
  • Freeze: Freeze solid on a baking sheet before transferring to a container or bag. They will keep well for up to 2 months and can be thawed at room temperature.
  • Tip: Don't over mix the cookie batter when you add the flour so that the gluten doesn't over develop.
  • Tip: Cool the cookies fully on a cooling rack before storing or serving.
