Description
Deliciously chewy chocolate cookies with oats, cranberries, and walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (170g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 cup (118g) cake flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon (21g) unsulphured or dark molasses
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 ounces (170g) chopped bittersweet or dark chocolate
- 1 cup (150g) dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup (90g) chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamy and combined, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla, and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, plus the chopped chocolate, dried cranberries, and walnuts. Beat on low speed until combined. This is a thick, heavy, and sticky dough, so you may need to start and stop your mixer a couple times.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (and up to 4 days). If chilling longer than 1 day, then, without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10–20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
- Add more chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts with other nuts, if desired.
