Really, I made them for the boys. Well, I guess I did skip lunch that day. but wasn’t that a thoughtful thing for me to do! Well, the boys did called up and asked if they could go straight to a friend’s house to play, so they didn’t actually get any hot cookies, but these cookies were great hot and maybe even better cold. I should know, I ate six the first day.
This is another great recipe from Maria’s terrific blog Two Peas and Their Pod. It is a nice blend of sweet and tart. I’ll definitely put these cookies on my list to make again. I added some whole wheat pastry flour to boost the nutrition just a bit. Here’s my version:
Oatmeal White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies
½ c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1 1/4 c. flour (or 1 c. whole wheat pastry flour)
1 1/4 c. oats
1 cup Craisins
1 cup white chocolate chips
In a mixer, beat butter and sugars until smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix in slowly to wet ingredients. Add your oats, Craisins, and white chocolate.
Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes! Don’t let them get too done…they are better when they are soft! Makes 2 dozen.

I love to bake, especially cookies, cakes, and pies.

I remember thinking that I need to make these when I saw them on Maria’s blog. Now that I’ve heard two great reviews, I am trying them for sure! I think a few of these would beat lunch any day!
Oh yum! Don’t these look good? I’m with Cathy–two sparkling reviews is good enough for me!
The combo of cranberries and white chocolate is so delicious! And the oatmeal makes them healthy, too!!
Sure you made them for the boys…lol!
I bet that they were really delicious right out of the oven!
Lately these are my favorite cookies from a little bakery around here, but I just can’t get the cookie right when I make it. I’m excited to finally have a real recipe!
YUM! They look absolutely delicious!
These look delicious, I like the addition of wheat flour to add a little nutrition.
They looks absolutely delicious Barbara. I adore oatmeal cookies and I firmly believe that white chocolate and cranberry is one of the best ever combinations!
I agree that Maria’s blog is awesome. I just saw your blog linked in the sltrib article and thought I would come over and check it out!
These cookies look delicious!
Yum! I love the combination of oatmeal, cranberries and white chocolate. I just bought whole wheat pastry flour but I keep forgetting to use it! Thanks for the reminder!
Glad you tried the recipe! I like the addition of whole wheat!! Nice job, they look perfect!
White chocolate and cranberries. Yum, yum. Guess I better put this on my to-do list for today.
I was looking for a cookie to bake today…this sounds like a good one for my kids (and me!).
I saw these on Maria’s blog too, I so want to try them. Yours look so good!
I love the looks of these cookies Barbara! Great combo with cranberry and white chocolate. Have a great day!
These look really yummy. I love white chocolate. Wal-Mart always had the best (Sam’s Choice) — pure cocoa butter, no hydrogenated fats. They just discontinued them and I cried for a week. Nestle doesn’t have a drop of cocoa butter in theirs. So now I buy Ghirdadelli which is milk fat. I miss the Sam’s Choice white chocolate chips, they were so good.
Okay, I found your blog of Honey B’s site! I just love this recipe. I am definitively gonna try it. Definitely. I love cranberries. Thanks for sharing it with us!
They look so fabulous, I bet they taste heavenly.
Cheers,
Elra
These sound great!

Hey, I made these cookies this morning. I was in a rush and could not take pictures. I will next time. I may make some more tonight. I took them to my Thursday Afternoon book club. Guess what? Not one was left! Thanks for this recipe. They were really good and almost guilt-free!
