Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, quartered
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugars. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla. Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Add Oats and Mix-ins. Stir in the old fashioned oats, quartered fresh cranberries, chopped pecans, and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies. Drop approximately one tablespoon of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet for each cookie, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they begin to brown around the edges.
- Cool. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
- Final Step. Enjoy your cookies and consider leaving a rating and comment to support the recipe creator!
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
- Fresh cranberries provide tartness; frozen can be used but may alter texture slightly.
- Do not overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy inside.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or other nuts as preferred.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
