The best part about making your own homemade cookies at home? You can switch up the add-ins depending on what you feel like or having on hand. Not a fan of white chocolate – leave them out or swap them out for semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY OATMEAL COOKIES
- I took my favorite oatmeal cookie base and swapped out the peanut butter for cookie butter. If you can’t find cookie butter or are not a fan, you can swap in peanut butter or almond butter mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- This recipe calls for melted butter and 2 large room temperature eggs. Be sure your butter is cooled before mixing in the eggs.
- I used brown sugar in here but you can also use coconut sugar or monk fruit sugar if you want a less refined sugar
These White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies make a delicious snack and are so festive with the white chocolate chips along and dried cranberries. They bake up soft and chewy with light crispy edges – just the way my ideal oatmeal cookie should be.
I usually make these White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies every year around Christmas and they are always a favorite!
