Normally I try to find my own twist on a recipe or come up with something from scratch. But here is a recipe that Pam and I simply love. Given the fact that we are spending a good deal of time in home, we need a recipe that will make the time feel better. So this is one of our favorite recipes. It is not exactly health food - but it is really, really good! It is really just this recipe: Craisins Dried Cranberries Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Ocean Spray has a really nice collection of recipes that are freely available and will be a great addition to everyone's recipe list. Long story short - we always have the ingredients to make these in a pinch. They often save the day!
Ingredients (Makes around 20 large cookies)
2/3 cup Butter, softened
2/3 cup Brown sugar
2 large Eggs
1 1/2 cups Old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Ocean Spray® Craisins® Original Dried Cranberries (or any kind of dried cranberries or raisins)
1/2 cup Baking chips - white (vanilla) or chocolate or whatever! Adjust to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Using an electric mixer (ideally), beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in dried cranberries and baking (vanilla or chocolate) chunks.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on wire rack.
Enjoy & repeat!
