Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Oh, doesn’t the name just make you hungry?!?!?!? These cookies are so yummy and easy to make!! Did I mention how incredibly delicious they are???  🙂

Ingredients:

3 eggs, well beaten
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 ½ cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine eggs, dried cranberries and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour. Cream together the butter and sugars. Add flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda to the sugar mixture and mix well. Blend in the egg-cranberry mixture and the oatmeal. Fold in the white chocolate chips. Roll into balls and slightly flatten onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly browned. Do not overbake! Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet…and then grab a glass of milk and enjoy!!!

FYI: We were able to make almost 6 dozen cookies from the recipe…which means that there should be one or two cookies left for us to eat tomorrow!  🙂 

This recipe is SOOO yummy as it is, but the next time I plan to try to make a few healthier substitutions, like flax for the eggs, agave nectar for the sugars, and whole wheat flour rather than white flour. I don’t know of a substitution for white chocolate chips, so I guess they will have to stay put in the recipe…oh well!  {grins}
