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. Whisk 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 aside.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
  3. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla. Mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in chocolate, cranberries, and walnuts until evenly distributed.
  6. Chill the dough. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Portion the dough using a 1/3-cup scoop, spacing mounds on baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  10. Cool for 10 to 20 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 1 hour for better texture. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
