Irresistible Chewy Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

Oatmeal cookies often don't get the credit they deserve, but trust me, they can be utterly satisfying, delightfully chewy, and surprisingly healthy! I set out on a mission to create a cookie that's both savory and sweet, with a perfect chewiness. Personally, I prefer smaller cookies that you can enjoy in just a couple of bites. Indulge in these chewy delights straight out of the oven or pair them with a scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream for an extra treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup melted butter (add more if the mixture feels dry)

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 cup rolled oats

• ½ cup white chocolate chips

• ½ cup dried cranberries

• ⅓ cup maple syrup

Directions:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugars.

• In another bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and maple syrup until well combined.

• Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

• Fold in the oats, white chocolate chips, and dried cranberries.

• Chill the dough in the fridge for about 2 hours.

• Take a small amount of dough and a small piece of butter, then sandwich the dough around the butter and roll it into a ball with your hands.

• Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

• Serve warm and enjoy!
