Ingredients
- 1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup pistachio, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Adjust the oven racks to the low and middle positions as you will use two trays to bake the cookies. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the wire attachment beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Add the white and brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time.
- Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, manually stir the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture.
- Once combined, mix in the oats, cranberries and pistachios.
- Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough balls onto the parchment paper-covered baking sheets. Place the balls 2 inches apart from each other.
- Bake until the cookie edges turn slightly golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Mid-baking, rotate the baking sheets and also move the top one to the bottom and the bottom one to the top to ensure uniform baking.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling wire rack.
- Let cookies cool completely before drizzling them with white chocolate.
- Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil. Place white chocolate in a medium bowl set over the saucepan of simmering water, and let it melt, stirring just a few times.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and drizzle the white chocolate over the cookies using a fork.
- Let stand for 15-20 minutes before serving for the chocolate to settle, or better place cookies in the fridge for the chocolate to harden quicker.
