Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Now that Autumn is officially here, I’m looking forward to baking things with my favorite fall flavors and spices. That includes cranberries, whether they’re fresh or dried. I first tried this cookie recipe last year and really liked it. It’s from Ocean Spray® (the photo is, too), and these yummy cookies are packed with healthy ingredients like oatmeal and dried cranberries. And just to make sure they’re not too healthy, there’s some white chocolate chips sprinkled in . So when you’re in the mood to make some cookies this fall, you’ll have to try these out. I bet they would be good with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, too, as a substitute for the white chocolate chips–something I need to try the next time I make them!

INGREDIENTS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl, blend butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add half of this flour mixture to the egg/butter mixture and mix well; then add in the rest of the flour mixture and mix all ingredients well. Fold in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed in batter.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
