Oatmeal White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies

by Barbara on December 5, 2009


My week 10 cookie of my 12 weeks of Christmas Cookies is a cookie I’ve blogged about before. My family is in love with this cookie! It is a wonderful blend of sweet and tart and loaded with white chocolate chips.

Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod posted this scrumptious cookie recipe on her blog last year and we’ve made them many times since then.  I often add whole wheat pastry flour to boost the nutrition just a bit. If you haven’t tried this one yet, you really should!



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.

You must have read my mind… Recipe Girl was asking on Twitter was people's favourite cookie recipes were and I suggested white chocolate with either raspberry or cranberry.

Loving the 12 weeks of cookies… even thinking of doing a US style cookie swap party here in London next year!
