How to Make Oatmeal Cookies with Cranberries – Step by Step

Step 1 – Preparation

• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Chop the white chocolate into small pieces.
  about 100 g white chocolate (about ⅔ cup chocolate chunks or chips)
  
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2 – Making the Cookie Dough

• Place the butter, sugar, and egg in a large mixing bowl. Beat on high speed for a few minutes until light and fluffy (I mixed for about 3 minutes).
  125 g butter, 150 g sugar, 1 egg
  
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
• Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder and mix briefly on low speed — just until combined.
  150 g all-purpose flour, 1,5 teaspoons baking powder
  
• Add the rolled oats and gently stir with a spoon.
  100 g old-fashioned rolled oats
  
• Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate, mixing until evenly distributed.
  about 150 g dried cranberries, about 100 g white chocolate (about ⅔ cup chocolate chunks or chips)
  

Step 3 – Baking the Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

• Scoop portions of dough using a large spoon or ice cream scoop. You can lightly roll the dough into balls for more evenly shaped cookies.
• Place the dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie — they will spread slightly while baking.
  
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. If baking two trays at once, rotate them halfway through for even baking.
• Right after baking, the cookies will be very soft and delicate. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
