Tips + Variations

If you’re wanting to change up the cookies a bit, there are a few things that you can do.

  • Add in some nuts (like walnuts or slivered almonds) to give an extra crunch and texture.
  • You can also add in chocolate chips along with the white chocolate chips to give it a tad bit more sweetness.

What is the best way to store baked cookies?

To keep them as fresh and as soft as possible, you’re going to want to store cookies in an airtight container. This will keep out the air and will keep them soft and chewy for several days.

What happens if my cookie dough is runny?

If you notice that your cookie dough is runny, you need to put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to see if that will help to firm it up. This is a fast and easy way to get the dough to set up quickly to be able to bake them easily.

Can you freeze cookies once baked?

You sure can. Since this recipe makes a lot of cookies, you can easily freeze some for later to enjoy. In fact, freezing cookies is a simple way to make them last a long longer. Plus, when you’re hungry for a cookie, you can just unthaw one at a time and eat rather than having to unthaw the entire batch.

  • 2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

Instructions 

  • Place oven racks in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Add oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix on low speed until blended.
  • Add white chocolate chips and dried cranberries and gently mix until incorporated.
  • Drop batter by heaping teaspoons 1 1/2 inches apart onto greased or parchment-lined baking sheets. (I like a Silpat baking mat)

Notes

If you find your dough spreads too much while in the oven, place dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
Depending on the size of your cookies, you will yield 38-45 per batch.
These cookies are best eaten within a couple of days of baking. They freeze very well.
