White Chocolate & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

I first shared these White Chocolate & Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies three years ago. Since they've gotten buried in the archives, I figured I'd write out the recipe again in case you're looking for a simple and delicious Christmas cookie. The tart cranberry mixed with the sweet melted chocolate make for a perfect combination.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 oz package dried cranberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well.  Combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.  Add to the butter mixture, a little bit at a time, mixing well.  Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden-brown.  Cool on wire racks.

Makes 2 to 3 dozen.

Enjoy!
