Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon unsulphured or dark molasses
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces chopped bittersweet or dark chocolate
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients. Mix in the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Mix dry into wet. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough is just combined.
  5. Fold in mix-ins. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts.
  6. Chill the dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat and prepare pans. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Shape the cookies. Scoop dough using a 1/3-cup measure and space on the baking sheets.
  9. Bake in two stages. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  10. Cool before moving. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For even cookies, lightly press the tops before baking. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
