Servings 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a spacious bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until a creamy and smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Add the room-temperature egg and then the pure vanilla extract, ensuring to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Gradually introduce the prepared flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can impact the cookie's texture. Once mixed, remove the bowl from the stand mixer.
  • Gently fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  • Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Employ a 1.5-2 tablespoon cookie scoop to form portions of the cookie dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball of dough by gently pressing it with your hand.
  • Bake the cookies in separate batches at 350°F (175°C) for 10-13 minutes, or until they exhibit a golden-brown edge while retaining a slightly soft center.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to a wire rack to complete the cooling process.
