White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

These oatmeal bars are packed with white chocolate and dried cranberries. They’re soft, chewy, and completely addicting. 

Did y’all have a fabulous Thanksgiving?

I don’t know about you, but I am still super thankful for the amount of sausage dressing, sweet potato casserole, and green bean casserole with bacon that I was able to consume.  My brother smoked the turkey and I ate a boatload of that too. Smoked turkey is way mo’ bettah than a traditional roasted turkey if you ask me.

Anyway! It’s officially Christmas season, my friends.

I’m so glad. I’ve been decorated for weeks. I’ve been baking Christmas cookies for months. My kids have been begging me to stop threatening them with Santa all year.

Christmas is basically a year ’round thing in this house, so I’m glad to finally be where the rest of the world is in terms of celebrating. Woohoo!

Today I’m bringing you these oatmeal bars that are fully loaded with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries.

I am kind of anti raisins in baked goods, but that doesn’t translate over to dried cranberries for some reason. Cranberries somehow get even better when they’re all shriveled up and pitiful looking. Grapes…not so much, if you ask me.

These oatmeal bars are super soft. You’re going to love adding these to your Christmas cookie trays! And, since they’re bars, they’re really easy to make. None of that scooping 50 balls of cookie dough and then baking 13 different pans of cookies. You’ll just spread the cookie dough in a 9×13 baking dish, pop it in the oven, and you’re practically done.
