How to make Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 F with the rack in the center. In a bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients – flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and keep aside. In a separate bowl beat butter and the sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one by one and add the vanilla extract. Add all the dry ingredients and mix well. Throw in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks. Make balls using about 2 tbs of dough between the palms of your hand. The dough is going to be a little sticky. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes till the edges turn golden brown. Take the cookies out of the oven and let those rest for few minutes before transferring to the wire rack to cool. These stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
