Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5: Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Stir in Oats, Cranberries, and White Chocolate
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the rolled oats, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7: Scoop Cookie Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
Step 9: Cool the Cookies
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
