I can’t believe it is already November! As we head into the holidays it is good have some reliable cookie recipes in your pocket. Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip cookies would be great for Thanksgiving or a holiday cookie platter.
I like to collect cookbooks and read them like novels. I found this recipe on a cookbook I bought called The Back of the Box Cookbook. It is the Quaker Oatmeal Raisin cookie. I have changed out the raisins for the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips to make it more seasonal but that’s it. Their recipe produces a crispy, chewy cookie which is just about perfect.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Beat the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until they are well mixed in. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and beat until combined. On low speed, mix in the oatmeal. Stir in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Drop the cookies by the level tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet two inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Checking for when the cookie is lightly browned. *Oven temperatures vary. I turn the cookies at least twice while baking to ensure they brown evenly. You want the cookie to be set and lightly brown but not too browned so it will be soft and chewy. These cookies can be frozen before the baking process. When you scoop a tablespoon of dough, form it into a ball and place on a cookie sheet. Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet and place in the freezer until frozen firm. Remove from the cookie sheet and place in a freezer bag. When you are ready to bake, remove from the freezer and place on a cookie sheet. Let the cookies defrost and bake as above. These can be kept in the freezer up to 3 months.Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies
