Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cardamom, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, 6-8 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the oats, ½ cup of the cranberries, and the chopped white chocolate.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours) to firm up.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop out ⅓-cup-sized portions of dough, and roll them into balls. Place 4 on each baking sheet, leaving some space in between each.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes, then gently press down the cookies, and top with the remaining cranberries and white chocolate chips. Bake for about 3 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top once the cookies have cooled for a gourmet touch.
  10. Enjoy!
