This recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups oats ( not instant)
- 1 cup dried cranberries ( or raisins)
- 6 oz. good-quality white chocolate chips
Directions:
Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl, set aside.
Cream butter, both sugars, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer until light and fluffy( about 5 minutes). Add flour mixture, stir until completely blended.
Fold the oats ( by hand, do not use mixer), cranberries, and white chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.
Drop the dough into 3 tablespoons mounds ( a #40 cookie scoop if you have one) onto baking sheets covered with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 11-13, or until golden but still a little moist. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
Fresh out of the oven, notice the parchment paper lining the baking sheet. |
If you forget to soften your butter before hand, like I did, just beat it with a rolling pin about three times, then turn it over and repeat on all sides about five times. |
Great stress reliever! |
When the butter/sugar mixture is ready it will lighten in color and drip easily. You should not see any pieces of butter. |
Folding in the oats, add cup by cup and fold in gently. |
My favorite part- the chocolate! Make sure it's real chocolate, not almond bark. |
It will be hard to mix it at this point, be patient and gentle. |
