White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

I made two batches...the second one was so much better and they were not as dry as the first batch. I made them slightly different but wasn't much of a change. I soaked the dried cranberries in very hot water. I put them in a bowl, microwaved some eater in a mug for a bout a minute and poured it on the cranberry bowl. Let them soak for about 20 minutes and this made the cookies taste so Much better! I also added a tablespoon of olive oil into the mix to make them softer since my first batch of cookies turned hard after cooling. and last change I did was lower the temp to 350 and cooked for about 11-12 minutes just as the edges were brown. My dad said these were a bit too sweet so maybe I will use 1/2 cup of white sugar instead of 3/4. Made 3 dozen an they are all gone!

Fabulous cookie! I'm giving this a 4-star because of all the changes I made from reading the reviews. Changes: I soaked the dried cranberries in hot water for about 10 minutes, cut the white sugar back to 1/2 cup, added an extra egg yolk, and baked @ 350* for 11 minutes. Mine were probably bigger than suggested in the directions, so I got only 20 cookies from the batch. We like 'em big! Thanks for sharing!

I used to bake cookies, and I would even eat a bad cookie. But not anymore, because I decided no cookie was worth the amount of calories & fat consumed. Baked these for a sailing trip, and believe me; they are so worthy of the intake of cals & fat! Superb Jules, this has won you notoriety! I did add an extra egg yolk, a little extra baking soda and smashed them out a little--as suggested by others. Baked for 10 minutes. When I bake cookies again, it will only be these.

I did what others said to do, soaked the cranberries in warm water for 10 mins and drain, added additional egg yolk (although did not add extra baking soda), reduced the white suger to 1/2 cup. I made them twice as big as recipe and squished the dough balls flat. Baked on convection bake for 8 mins. on 375 deg. I also added 1/2 cup of pecans (because I love nuts in my cookies). Next time I would add 5.5 oz vs. 6 oz of white chocolate b/c it would be exactly half of the 11 oz bag of Ghiradelli and I could make 2 batches from 1 bag. If you make these, you will want to double the batch, they are very yummy!

Delish!! When I made mine I soaked the cranberries in warm water for about 20 minutes. I also found that chilling the batter made them a little more solid rather than breaking apart when picking them up.

Delicious cookies! I'm glad I followed some advice I read in these reviews and soaked the dried cranberries in hot water for about 20 minutes, added an extra egg yolk, put only 1/2 cup of sugar, and only 1 1/4 cup of oats. Lowering the temperature to 350 and cooking for 11 minutes worked well also. My only issue is that the cookies came out brown (but didn't taste/feel burnt) and didn't rise (they came out completely flat.) I'm hoping someone will have some advice for me so I can figure out where I went wrong?

These are so rich! Lovely flavor, and would be great on a Christmas cookie tray. Made for Cookbook Tag Letter "W".

Awesome! I took these into work and once people started eating them they couldn't stop! I just kept hearing people talking about how good they were. My hubby tried to convince me that I needed to make a new batch to take in because he wanted us to keep this whole batch! Fantastic flavor and texture. Oh so good!! Thanks Jule :)

Family loved these cookies. I have baked these twice. The second time, I used raw sugar instead of refined. This really enhanced the flavor of the oatmeal and cranberries. My 27 year old son even requested these cookies for his birthday instead of a Birthday cake. I'm sure I will be baking these often.

We made these as a pretty treat for Valentine's day and they were so surprisingly delicious! I loved how light & fresh they were--and that they aren't loaded with calories! Thanks!

Even better than I expected! They are everything a gourmet cookie should be. I also sent them in some care packages and both recipients LOVED them. I will definitely make them again. I bet they would also be good with dried cherries.

We included these cookies in our 2010 holiday trays for family and freinds. They looked so festive with the dried cranberries and they tasted wonderful. I couldn't quit nibbling. Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe with us.

I followed other reviewers' suggestion and bumped up the baking soda plus added the extra yolk. I mistakenly had the oven temperature a little low, which means it took longer to cook, leading to me overbaking slightly. Oops. They still came out fantastically yummy. Definitely saving for future batches!
