Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (92 g) vegetable shortening, softened
- 1 cup (210 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (195 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups (300 g) quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup (180 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (121 g) dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer until blended. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in corn syrup and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in oats, then gently fold in white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.
- Roll dough into 1.5 tablespoon-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are slightly browned and cookies look puffy.
- Cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use quick-cooking oats, not old-fashioned oats, to ensure proper texture.
- Corn syrup helps maintain softness — recommended but optional.
- Bring butter, shortening, and eggs to room temperature before baking.
- Do not overbake — cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed from the oven.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
