Perfectly soft and chewy Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies with a deliciously crispy edge is a family favorite cookie recipe. A brown butter cookie base gives a delicious deep and toffee like flavor to these cookies with bites of tart cranberries and sweet white chocolate chips. The oatmeal provides a delicious texture to these chewy cookies. Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite for the lunch box, mid day snack or dessert.
Other cookie recipes we love include Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, and Brown Butter White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies.

I've been making Cranberry Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip Cookies on the regular.
I just adore the contrast of flavors of the dried cranberries with the sweet white chocolate chips, and the texture of the rolled oats. As if that wasn't enough the brown butter, cinnamon, and vanilla add the perfect warmth for this time of year.
As good as these are as a Christmas Cookie we really love them year-round. We've been enjoying these babies since the kids went back to school, after a summer break when it was too hot to bake, and have yet to tire of them.
I'm pretty sure I will be making these Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies a gazillion more times before the end of the year, because they are just that good! You should too!
Here's how I make Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies.
-min.jpg)
Brown 12 tablespoons Butter, until nutty smelling, and golden brown.
Remove from heat, and add browned butter to a mixing bowl. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of Butter, until melted.
Using brown butter in these Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Cookies really makes them the absolute best. It adds a layer of flavor that makes these cookies highly addictive.

Stir in:
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 3/4 cup Sweetened Dried Cranberries or Craisins

Drop Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet spaced about 2" apart using a standard sized cookie scoop or about a heaping tablespoon of dough.
Press additional white chocolate chips, and cranberries into balls to make them pretty if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until edges start to lightly brown, and starting to set, but centers are still soft.

Allow Cranberry Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip Cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 4 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

YUM! These cookies look so good! I love cranberry and white chocolate combination and have to try it :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely cookies! Got a huge thumbs up from my hubbie. These are cookie exchange bound tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this recipe. They are part of my Christmas trays from here on out!
These cookies turned out great! I know my Christmas luncheon ladies will love them! Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊
ReplyDeleteHi. Any idea why mine spread and became thin and flat? Still good but not like pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi, The brown butter probably hadn't set quite enough and melted too quickly. If the house is really warm you can pop the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to cool it down or if the house is cool try beating the butter a few more times with a rest to help it set. It will become quite firm when it's ready. I hope that helps, Serena
DeleteMine turned out crumbled and flat.
ReplyDeleteDo you use salted or unsalted butter? Do you use light or brown sugar?.. Can’t wait to try this recipe but don’t want to mess up!
ReplyDeleteHi! I use Salted Butter. I use Golden Brown Sugar. Light would be the closest if you don't have Golden. Thanks, Serena
DeleteJust perfect! And so delicious. Glad I found this recipe. I did add chopped macadamia nuts for a little crunch. Very tasty!
ReplyDeleteMmmm! So good 😉
