The hospital where I had both of my babies brings warm cookies around every afternoon to your room. Serious. I am not kidding. Fresh, warm cookies. It was amazing. (Although I have been told that they may not do that anymore. Bummer!) I always asked for the cranberry white chocolate cookie. I absolutely love white chocolate but I had never made this combination myself before. I had this recipe on my pinterest board, recipes to try and I am so glad I did! The white chocolate mixed with the oatmeal and dried cranberries is such a wonderful combination. The only change I made was I added a little nutmeg. So, if you are looking to try something new and want a change from good ‘ole chocolate chip cookies, these are it!

*I use parchment paper sheets. These fit a 18×13″ sheet pan perfectly. No need to mess with a roll of parchment paper. I love them! (affiliate links)

Wow Adell, these cookies look amazing! I love dried cranberries! Thanks for linking up at Saturday Night Fever! Your recipes are always so great and your pictures are beautiful! Pinned!
Hey! So I made these a few days ago, and they were amazing! The only tricky part I experienced was forming the cookie dough was that they fall apart super easily and they were difficult to form. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!
If they fell apart easily it could be a few things. How did you measure the flour? If you pack it in too tight (like brown sugar) then that could have made them dry and harder to form. When I measure flour, I scoop lightly and level it off. Also, did you use size large eggs? If you used medium sized eggs, it probably needed a little more liquid. I always use size large eggs when baking/cooking. Oatmeal cookies are a dryer cookie, and can be a little harder to form, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂 Thanks for trying these, I am glad you liked them!
About how many cookies does this make?
about 3 dozen, depending on the exact size cookie you make it could be a little more or less 🙂
I made these a little bigger and dipped them in crunchy white sugar before baking, they are so good!
yum! that sounds really yummy. glad you liked these cookies 🙂
These look amazing! I want to try them, but am wondering if the cookies will be affected at all if I chill the dough?
They may be a slightly more puffy cookie. I haven’t tried them with chilled dough though. Let me know how it worked out!
