MONDAY RECIPE POST - OATMEAL CRANBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

I saw this recipe on the back of my packet of Craisins (Dehydrated Cranberries).  I found the original recipe here.

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies 

Makes approximately 2-1/2 dozen. 

2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Craisins Dried Cranberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using an electric mixer beat butter or margarine with sugar together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.  

Add eggs, mixing well.  

Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl.  

Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition.  

Stir in Craisins/dried Cranberries and white chocolate chunks.  

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.  

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.  

Cool on wired rack.  

Makes approximately 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

Result?  Delicious, especially with a cup of tea.  I didn't actually use any chocolate.  I had everything else in the pantry and didn't feel like going to the store just for that one ingredient.  They still tasted great.  

And yes, I was careful with my cup of tea.  I don't usually put it quite so close to my laptop, just long enough for the photo.  See how big that cup is?  There are times when you just have to use the bigger cup.
