    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.

    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.

    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!

      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!

      I remember thinking that I need to make these when I saw them on Maria’s blog. Now that I’ve heard two great reviews, I am trying them for sure! I think a few of these would beat lunch any day!
