Oatmeal Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do you like warm and gooey, fresh-out-of-oven cookies?

Then yes, we got the cookies for you!

Plus, who doesn’t like cookies?

But these aren’t just any old cookies.

These are the kind of cookies perfect for the holidays!

Our Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies are it!

Your favorite oatmeal cookie but loaded with sweet dried cranberries from North Bay Produce. And two types of chocolate. 

 Lately, though, I’ve been putting chocolate in everything. From pancakes, homemade granola bars, and now these delicious cookies.

But these cookies aren’t just your average run-of-the-mill cookies.

Yes, there’s chocolate aplenty, but there are also dried cranberries!

And because it’s my mixing bowl, I also threw in some oatmeal.

There’s nothing like a good cookie with a cup of coffee. Yes, “coffee in the morning” is an oh-so-very necessary requirement.

What You Need To Make Our Cranberry & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies: 

Dried Cranberries. We chose North Bay Produce Premium dried cranberries for this recipe because they add sweet and slightly tart chewiness to our cookie recipe.

Dark Chocolate & Milk Chocolate Chips. My thoughts went something like this,  why go with one kind of chocolate when you can have two? I added both dark and milk chocolate chips to this cookie recipe. 

White Sugar & Light Brown Sugar. Both sugars add sweetness, but the light brown sugar adds depth of flavor with notes of molasses, and light brown sugar helps keep your cookies soft and moist.

Softened Unsalted Butter & Eggs. Butter’s role in cookie recipes is to add flavor and structure. Also, the water released throughout the baking process helps the dry ingredients accomplish their jobs. Using eggs in a cookie recipe helps the ingredient bind together and causes the cookie dough to rise during baking. Eggs also add flavor and help the cookies brown on top.

Pure Vanilla Extract, Ground Cinnamon, and Ground Cardamom. The pure vanilla extract brings lots of flavor, and the ground cinnamon and cardamom add their fair share of spice. 

All-Purpose Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and Sea Salt. Baking is mostly about chemistry and how ingredients combine for a specific result. In cookie recipes, the combination of all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt combine to make cookies into cookies. The flour, baking soda, and baking powder all help the cookies to rise. When these ingredients are combined with the high heat and the water found in the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, plus the sea salt, the cookies lift and hold their shape.
