Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Like I mentioned in my previous post, my mom, my sister and I set a date for our “Annual Marathon Christmas Cookie Baking Day” and I’ve already dog-eared some of my favorites and pinned some new ones to try on Pinterest.

Like any marathon, a baking marathon requires some training to ensure a peak performance or PB (personal best).  I made this “test batch” of Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies as a gift for my Suncoast Strider friends and they came out perfect!  Of course, when Iron Chef Allan tastes them, he’ll tell me how to improve them ask me why I didn’t make a batch for him and the girls.

I better start baking another batch before he gets home before I eat them all.  I need all the “training” I can get.

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter

2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.  Then, add eggs and vanilla and mix well.

In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt.  Then, add butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition.  Stir in dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
