Servings: 40 pieces
- 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
Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C). In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Whisk well and set aside.
Add the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar to a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat the ingredients on medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until well combined, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Lower the speed and add the flour mixture. Continue mixing for 2 minutes until well combined and no dry flour remains. Gently fold in the oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips.
Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the batter and roll it into a ball. Place each dough ball on the baking sheet, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 12 to 15 minutes for crispy cookies. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Serve immediately

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.
