I got this recipe right off of the back of the Ocean Spray Craisins bag one night while we were eating cheese, cranberries & drinking wine. Trust me, wine was the motivating factor in making these. However, the only flour I had in the house was white whole wheat. The recipe calls for white flour, I have never ever made them this way. The white wheat flour gives them a healthy taste. Ya know not completely healthy but, healthy as in I don't feel guilty eating two or three with my morning coffee. It's like a muffin, in a cookie but better!
2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, not instant
1 1/2 cups flour (or white wheat flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups Craisins Dried Cranberries (or the 5 oz. package)
2/3 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well.
2. 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 dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
Makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
