Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies


I have become a cranberry convert this past year. I love cranberries. I also love oatmeal in cookies - oatmeal raisin, no bake chocolate oatmeal, etc. I also love white chocolate, and I've been fascinated with using cinnamon chips. Soooo... why don't we combine all of that together into a cookie? Can there be anything wrong with that? Well, I'm here to tell you that there is in fact nothing at all wrong with that. These cookies are freaking awesome! I start them the same as the old Quaker Oatmeal Raisin recipe, and then I take a hard left. 

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, heaping
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups oats
1 1/2 cups dried sweetened cranberries
12 ounces white chocolate chips
6 ounces cinnamon chips (half a bag)


Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk together. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.


Add eggs and vanilla extract, and blend until combined.


Add flour mixture, and blend until incorporated. Mix in the oatmeal, cranberries, white chocolate chips, and cinnamon chips.


Heap by rounded teaspoon full, or medium cookie scoop if you have one, onto parchment lined cookie baking sheet.



Bake cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 9-12 minutes until cookies begin to turn golden brown. Cookies will continue to cook and set after being removed from the oven, so do not overcook. Allow cookies to rest on the pan for 3-5 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to completely cool.
