Ingredients for Oatmeal Cookies
To make these oatmeal cookies, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store. Below is a short list of what I used, along with possible substitutions:
- Rolled oats – For the best nutritional value, I recommend old-fashioned rolled oats, but you can also experiment with other types, such as rye flakes
- Butter – I used full-fat butter (about 82%), but you can also use a butter blend or plant-based butter — just make sure it’s at room temperature
- Sugar – I used brown sugar, which pairs beautifully with oatmeal cookies, but white sugar or powdered sugar will work as well
- White chocolate – I added 3.5 oz (100 g) of chopped white chocolate. If you like sweeter cookies, feel free to add more. For a less sweet version, swap white chocolate for dark chocolate
- Dried cranberries – I used 5 oz (150 g), but you can easily adjust the amount depending on how much you enjoy their flavor
How to Make Other Variations of Oatmeal Cookies
These oatmeal cookies are incredibly easy to customize. As mentioned above, you can replace white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate. Cranberries can be swapped for raisins or other dried fruits, such as dried apricots or prunes — just chop them into smaller pieces first.
You can also add chopped nuts. Keep in mind that changing or increasing the add-ins will affect the overall calorie count.
How to Store Oatmeal Cookies with Cranberries
Once baked and fully cooled — when the cookies have firmed up — transfer them to an airtight container with a lid. This will keep them fresh and perfectly textured: lightly crisp on the outside and softer on the inside.
