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.
White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
Many people have mixed feelings about oatmeal cookies, I think it’s the raisins, don’t worry this recipe is raisin-free.
Instead of raisins, these oatmeal cookies are filled with seasonal appropriate craisins (dried cranberries) and festive white chocolate chips.
- 1 cup flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup softened butter
- ½ cup brown sugar or Splenda Brown Sugar blends
- ¼ cup sugar or Splenda
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1and ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
- In a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl beat butter, brown sugar and sugar until well blended.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla into the sugar mixture.
- Slowly mix in the dry ingredients to the wet, until fully combined.
- Fold in the oats, cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, drop cookie scoops on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in for 10-13 minutes.
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.
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.
