White Chocolate Dipped Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are chewy oatmeal cookies with plenty of dried cranberries and some chopped pecans! They are dipped in white chocolate to take the cookie to the next level! Delicious!
I am a big fan of these cookies! I originally shared the recipe about 5 years ago and felt that they needed a little update and a little love. When it comes to cookies, oatmeal and cranberries are two of my favorite things. And when you add white chocolate, I’m totally sold.
If you’ve never had a cookie that’s actually dipped in white chocolate before, you are missing out. It’s WAY better than just adding white chocolate chips. Amazing and delicious!
These cookies are soft, chewy and full of flavor. A great cookie for any time, but especially at Christmas when cranberries are so festive.
- Flour – I use all purpose in these cookies.
- Baking soda and baking powder – A little bit of both lends just the right texture and chewiness.
- Salt, Cinnamon, Vanilla extract – For flavor. I love a little hint of cinnamon in my oatmeal cookies!
- Butter
- Brown and white sugar – The combination of the two adds extra flavor and moisture with the brown sugar.
- Egg
- Quick Cook Oats – The quick cook oats are going to give you a better textured cookie.
- Dried Cranberries
- Pecans
- Baking white chocolate – There are lots of options for this, but you want something that will be easy to melt and dry firm. Candiquick, Almond bark, Ghirardelli Baking Chocolate and even Wilton Candy Melts would work.
These cookies are pretty simple to make. The toughest part is holding back on eating them long enough to dip them in the white chocolate. However, once you taste one that way, you’ll be eager to dip them all!
To begin, you’ll cream your butter and sugars together. You want to be sure you cream them until you notice the change in color and consistency. It’ll be much lighter in color and creamy.
Next, you’ll add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them until they are well combined.
After that, add the dry ingredients and mix just until well combined. Then add in your oats, cranberries and pecans and stir them in by hand.
Make large tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough and bake them! Once they are baked and cooled, it’s time to dip them in white chocolate.
Melt the white chocolate, dip the cookies and tap off any excess, then sprinkle with some pecan bits, if you like.
The final cookies are SO good! Hard to stop eating and sure to be a hit. Soft, chewy and covered in my favorite thing – white chocolate. Bring on the cookies!

Can fresh cranberries be used instead of dried cranberries?
They wouldn’t really turn out the same, but if you’re ok with that, you could try it and see if you like them that way. I would recommend the dried cranberries though.
Can these cookies be frozen?
Yes, they should do fine.
Can I make the dough ahead of time before I bake them?
That should be fine. Just bring it back to room temperature before baking.
Can dough be frozen ?
That should be fine.
can I add the white chips to the cookie instead?
You could. That should be fine. The cookies may just spread slightly less.
My new favorite cookie! These are delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
So glad to hear that!
Hi can I use light brown sugar instead of dark?
That should be fine.
Love the cookie recipe. The cranberries are a nice change to oatmeal cookies.
Just ran across this cookie, it looks so appealing to the eye and I love oatmeal cookies, white chocolate, cranberries and pecans, what’s not to like. We are having a bake sale in the next couple of weeks and I plan on doing this recipe. I’m not rating it because I haven’t made them yet. In my mind it’s 5 star’s.
I hope you enjoy them!
