White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

November 16, 2018 By Shannah Coe 15 Comments

White chocolate oatmeal cranberry cookies combine all the best flavors of a Christmas cookie in one simple recipe. I highly recommend making a double batch because these cranberry oatmeal cookies are always crazy popular.

For as long as I can remember, cookies and Christmas go hand in hand. My grandmother used to spend day after day making all kinds of delicious Christmas treats. No one came to visit without getting a plate of goodies to take home. As I’ve gotten older, I try to do the same for my family and friends. Mathlete loves oatmeal cookies so it only makes sense to include some version in our holiday baking. My favorite are white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies.

These cookies are so perfect for the holiday season. They combine the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of smooth, white chocolate and heartiness of oats.

These cookies use old fashioned oats versus quick oats. What is the difference between old fashioned oats and quick oats.

Old fashioned oats are rolled whole-grain oat kernels. Quick oats are different because the oat kernel is first cut into smaller pieces before being rolled. This makes it much easier for quick oats to absorb water than an old fashioned oat. You can typically see the difference in size of the oats.

Cranberry Oatmeal White Chocolate Cookies

Sometimes when I make these, I melt extra white chocolate and drizzle it over top of the oatmeal cranberry cookies. It is delicious but I love them without it too.

These cookies practically disappeared as fast as I could get them onto the plate. Mathlete has already requested a second batch and several co-workers want a chance to try them too!

If you love these white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookes, be sure to try these other great holiday cookies:

  • Chocolate Peppermint Cake Mix Cookies

  • Dark Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

  • German Chocolate Cake Cookie

    Those look good! I am not a huge white chocolate fan. But for some reason I do like it with Cranberry! Great combo!

    I had a bad outcome today when I made these cookies. The dough seemed really wet, but since I followed the directions I printed out, I proceeded to bake them. They spread out, flattened, and darkened very quickly. I was very disappointed because my cookies usually turn out great and this recipe looked delicious. So I looked back at the recipe online and compared it to the one for printing out, and the amounts of flour and oats are much less for the print out version. No wonder my dough was wet and my cookies were flat! I might try to make them again using the correct amounts, but please fix the amounts on your printer version so nobody else ends up disappointed.

      Thank you so much for telling me this! I recently switched recipe card programs and I am finding (unfortunately) that some of the recipes didn’t transfer properly. I am going through one by one to fix them. I will fix this one immediately.
      I do hope you will try again as these cookies are fantastic. I just made 4 batches for our annual bake sale and they disappeared in minutes.

      Yes, you should be able to freeze the dough.
