Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (at room temperature)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old fashioned oats (not quick or instant)
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) with the rack in the center position. Then, line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray them with non-stick spray.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Combine dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, blending on low speed, one cup at a time. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add mix-ins. Stir in the oats, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries at low speed until they are combined.
- Shape cookies. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Then, press the cookie dough down slightly to flatten it into discs. (Skip this step if you prefer thicker, rounded cookies.)
- Bake. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Then, cool the cookies on a wire rack.
Notes
Remember to use room temperature butter for easy mixing with the sugars. Using cold butter can make the cookies dense.
When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mix at low speed and stop as soon as they're combined. Overmixing can make your cookies tough.
Dark chocolate chips in place of the white ones are also delicious!
If you want to make the dough ahead of time and bake the cookies fresh right before serving, that works too.
