Servings: 40 pieces
Calories: 105kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quaker oats
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
- Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda and ground cinnamon in a bowl, whisk well and set aside.
- Add unsalted butter, light brown sugar and white sugar in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat all ingredients on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. Keep beating the mixture until the eggs are well combined, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the mixture with a silicone spatula, add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Lower the speed and add in the flour mixture. Continue mixing for 2 minutes until well combined and no powder remains.
- Fold in oats, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the batter, and roll it into a ball. Place each dough on the baking sheet, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
- Bake 9 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 12 to 15 minutes for crispy cookies. Transfer the cookies onto a cooling rack, and let them cool completely. Sever immediately.

Notes

Tips:
- In my recipe, I reduce the butter to half a cup instead of one cup to make the cookies less fatty and healthier. Use one cup of butter for a chewier and moist texture if desired.
- Using either old-fashion rolled oats or Quaker oats will work for this recipe.
- To ensure all cookies are baked simultaneously, shape and weigh each dough to the same size before placing them on the baking pan.
