These White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are a family favorite. They’re loaded with dried cranberries, sweet creamy white chocolate chips, and good for your heart oatmeal.
I originally posted this recipe in 2009 and have made it countless times since then. When I was baking them again recently with my daughter and grandson, my daughter looked at the pictures on the post and said I should update this post with new pictures. So I did.
Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod posted this scrumptious cookie recipe on her blog in 2008. She’s kind of the cookie queen. It is a nice blend of sweet and tart.
I like to add whole wheat pastry flour to boost the nutrition just a bit. I also like to chill the dough for 30 minutes when I have the time. King Arthur Flour has a good article on why you should be chilling your cookie dough.
If you haven’t tried this one yet, you really should!

Okay, I found your blog of Honey B’s site! I just love this recipe. I am definitively gonna try it. Definitely. I love cranberries. Thanks for sharing it with us!

These look really yummy. I love white chocolate. Wal-Mart always had the best (Sam’s Choice) — pure cocoa butter, no hydrogenated fats. They just discontinued them and I cried for a week. Nestle doesn’t have a drop of cocoa butter in theirs. So now I buy Ghirdadelli which is milk fat. I miss the Sam’s Choice white chocolate chips, they were so good.

Lately these are my favorite cookies from a little bakery around here, but I just can’t get the cookie right when I make it. I’m excited to finally have a real recipe!
