Amazingly chewy and simple oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies that are amazingly chewy and beyond simple!

These cookies are a result of me trying to use up an open bag of white chocolate and oats. We will be moving in less than a month now and I’m trying to use up all the open pantry items.

I haven’t made an oatmeal cookie for you yet and figured that would be a good way to use the less than half full container of oats I found hanging out in the very back of my pantry. I believe I may have an ingredient hoarding problem. I will use something until it gets low and then hold on to the tiniest amount left.

Seriously, I don’t know why I don’t just throw the last little bit into the last recipe I used it for. Like these white chocolate chips for example. There was a handful left in a bag that was stuffed behind a brand new bag I had already opened.

Ridiculousness, I tell ya!

These cookies are far from diet food, even with the oats. I loaded these babies with lots of butter. The moisture from the butter is what will soften the oats and give the cookie its chew.

Because there is so much butter in this recipe it is important to chill the cookie dough before baking.  The colder it is, the less your cookies will spread. They are going to spread quite a bit as it is with all of the butter. These cookies will be thinner but still chewy and completely delicious.

I added in a cup of dried cranberries plus a cup of white chocolate chips. There is no lack in sweet tangy flavor. With each bite, you get loads of sweet white chocolate and tangy cranberries. It’s a beautiful contrast.
