Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe – chewy oatmeal cookies filled with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips! It’s quick and easy to make a batch and enjoy with a glass of milk!
It’s this time of year again! A free pass to bake cookies every day! Ginger molasses cookies, red velvet crinkle cookies, double chocolate M&M cookies and while we are all in, let’s pour a tall mug of hot chocolate and turn up the Christmas music! Decorating the Christmas tree and the fireplace mantel is so much more fun when there is a big plate of cookies on the table.
In our family, decorating the Christmas tree is a big event. Everybody is helping, favorite decorations are being pulled out of the boxes and new ones added to the collection. Each year, our kiddos make their own ornaments. There is glitter, paint and colorful washi tape everywhere. And there is fun. Lots and lots of fun!
Such activities require a good sweet treat. These chewy oatmeal cookies, filled with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips are perfect for that! I make the dough the night before and let it chill in the fridge all night and bake them the next day. We even make them to share with friends, family, neighbors. I hope you will make a batch too!
