Oatmeal Dried Cranberries White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Craisins

2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats

1 ½ cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 5-ounce package dried cranberries (about 1 cup)

2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips

Preheat oven to 375F. Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl. 

They're a little unwieldy when you put them together, but keep stirring and magic will happen, I promise.

Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks. 

See? Magic!

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. 

These do expand, though, so be careful.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. 

Done! Bucket o' cookies, coming right up!

My Rating: 4/5 "These are unique and awesome. The white chocolate gives it a candy flavor that's an improvement on your usual oatmeal raisin aesthetic and the craisins add a pop of tartness to that candy. The raw dough isn't great, so I didn't have high hopes, but the cookies themselves really were great!"
