Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips (if using) into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
-
Press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared baking pan, using your hands or a spatula to create an even layer. Save the remaining dough for topping.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
-
Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into bars and serve.
