Recipe: White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

Did you get a taste of the white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies at our first MOPS meeting this morning? Here's how you can make them yourself at home!

Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter (for best results, use salted)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour (the batch at MOPS was made with whole wheat flour)
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 small bag of white chocolate chips
1 small bag of dried cranberries

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars together in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Add eggs, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add flour slowly until completely mixed. Do the same with the oats. Add cranberries and white chocolate chips at the very end, turning mixer off as soon as they are incorporated so as not to crush the chocolate.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper (for best results). Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes, depending on cookie size and your oven, until the edges are just golden. Let cool on cookie sheet for 1-3 minutes before removing to cooling racks.

Of course, be sure to enjoy a couple while they're still hot from the oven!
