What do I need?
To make this easy oatmeal cookie recipe, you’ll need . . . .
- oats
- butter
- brown sugar
- eggs
- flour
- baking soda
- salt
- dried cranberries (like Craisins)
Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes, Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate cookies hold up great to freezing! Make sure they’re cooled completely, then pop them in a freezer bag to store.
They stay good frozen for about 3 months.
What oats are best for cookies?
I use whole rolled oats (“old fashioned oats) in these Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies. I don’t recommend quick oats, as they absorb more water and tend to make cookies drier and more crumbly.
Definitely put steel cut oats in these cookies either–unless you want to break a tooth!
Jk. You won’t seriously break a tooth, you’ll just have a VERY textured cookie.
Can I add nuts to Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies?
Absolutely! Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies taste delicious with a few chopped walnuts or pecans folded into the dough before baking.
