How to Make White Chocolate Dipped Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup dried cranberries, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 2 cups rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While cookies cool, prepare the chocolate dip: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces white chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  10. Once the cookies are completely cool, dip half of each cookie into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off.
  11. Place the dipped cookies on wax paper or parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
  12. Once the chocolate is firm, enjoy your delicious White Chocolate Dipped Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies!
