Variations on White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
You can make these cookies with salted butter (just omit the kosher salt), and quick oats if that’s what you have on hand. Use any dried fruit and any flavor of chocolate chips you’ve got in the pantry, too. For gluten-free cookies, swap the all-purpose flour for an equal amount of gluten-free 1:1 baking flour, and be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover oatmeal cranberry cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Serve at room temperature or gently warmed in the microwave.
How to Freeze
Freeze white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies in a single layer on a lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer to an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 2 months. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

How to Make Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies Step by Step
Prep Your Materials: Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Make the Cookie Dough: Use a hand mixer to cream ¾ cup of unsalted butter and ¾ cup of brown sugar together until fluffy, then beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Next, add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and beat until just combined. Use a spatula to stir in 1½ cups of rolled oats, 1 cup of dried cranberries, and ⅔ cup of white chocolate chips if using. Bake the Cookies: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned.
