Servings: persons

2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup warm water
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

1
Preheat the oven to 350 and position 2 racks in the lower third.
2
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
3
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the warm water, then beat it into the butter mixture.
4
Add the eggs, vanilla and orange zest and beat at low speed until combined.
5
Beat in the flour and salt until barely combined, then mix in the oats, cranberries and chips.
6
For each cookie, use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon to scoop 3 tablespoons of the dough onto parchment-lined or nonstick baking sheets; space them 2 inches apart.
7
Bake the cookies for about 13 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp around the edges but a little soft in the center; shift the pans from top to bottom and front to back for even baking.
8
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
