Fluffy and chewy, this Cranberry Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are full of delicious mix-ins and can be whipped up quickly when a dessert craving strikes!

**NOTE: This post was originally published in October 2010. I updated the photos in October 2015 and am now republishing the recipe because let’s be honest, you probably missed it the first time** 

Hi Friends!

Cooler weather is finally here and that means one thing- time to bake! There are few things more comforting to me than baking cookies, especially a tried and true favorite that I know will come out the same way every single time. I can’t even remember where this recipe came from originally. I make them so often I just have the ingredients written down on a scrap of paper, with no title or directions.

These are my hubby’s favorite cookie. He’s not a dessert person but he will occasionally request these so I’m happy to oblige. They’re the perfect balance of fluffy and chewy and are jam-packed with delicious mix-ins.

Here’s the recipe:

Don’t they look yummy! Make some to share or make a double batch and freeze half the dough for later. Oh and just a little side note- if you have a friend who just had a baby, do her a favor and either make her some of these cookies….or make the dough to stock her freezer. Just trust me…she’ll appreciate it!

    I don’t have any dried cranberries, but I do have fresh ones. Would that work for this recipe?

      I just recently used fresh cranberries in cookies and they were good! However, they’re not as sweet like dried cranberries are….so just be aware of that. You could also substitute raisins or another dried fruit if you wanted!

    Isn’t it funny to go back to an old post and see what we thought was photography back then? I still have a lot to learn but sometimes I just laugh at my old pictures!

    Either way, these cookies sound delicious! I love having healthy cookies around!

    Are there supposed to be oats in these? Either way they look good! I think I’ll make these for Thanksgiving treats.

    These look yummy–just perfect for the holiday season! And amen for doubling the recipe so there’ll be dough on hand for the next craving–great idea. Is there anything that makes them particularly healthy, or are they about all good things in moderation?

    Can your cookies be made with say almond flour or a non gluten prepared flour such as Pamela’s Artisan flour?

      i think you could sub a 1:1 gluten-free flour but i’m not sure about almond flour!

    I made almost the EXACT cookie twice recently and now cannot find the recipe. The one I used called for oat flour and 1/2 oats; I think 1/2 c brown sugar and one egg plus the chips and the dried cranberries. They were DELICIOUS.
    Easy to fix and great to have on hand.
