Thanksgiving always gets me in the mood for pie, while Christmas time makes me crave a good Christmas cookie! 

Sugar, ginger, snickerdoodle, there so many varieties of cookies and they seem to be at every holiday function and event.

With that said I thought I’d share a cookie recipe that is very fit for the season, but something a little different.

Many people have mixed feelings about oatmeal cookies, I think it’s the raisins, don’t worry this recipe is raisin-free.

These cookies are a twist on a classic

Instead of raisins, these oatmeal cookies are filled with seasonal appropriate craisins (dried cranberries) and festive white chocolate chips.

Another nice factor about these cookies is that being oatmeal based they are somewhat good for you, right? I’m going to stick with that theory and the possibility that they can also be considered breakfast. 

A Holiday Treat

This recipe makes up a delicious softy an chewy oatmeal cookie with a great brown sugar and cinnamon flavor. 

The addition of the cranberries and white chocolate gives these cookies added interest and a fun holiday flavor.

Love the mix of the cranberry and white chocolate flavor

I made a variety of holiday cookies recently for a family get together and while they enjoyed them all, these White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies were defiantly the hit of the party. 

In fact, I had to nearly fight to get a few to take back home with me. They were eaten and collated by everyone who attended.

So good I kind of wanted to keep them all to myself
