White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are just what Santa wants on the eve of Christmas. This easy oatmeal cookies recipes features white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, walnuts and seasonal spices in a delicious combination!
White Chocolate Chip Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies: Origin
I sort of fizzled out by Christmas this year, and while I usually enjoy cooking, it had become a chore. Hence, the lack of recipes on the blog the past week or so. My much needed little break, seems to have gotten me back on track & I am looking forward to getting back to a healthier focus in my recipes. This White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies recipe is sort of a bridge into that refocus. They are also somewhat similar to myBanana Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe.
The cranberry & walnut seemed festive seasonal choice, especially with the addition of a little cinnamon and ginger. I also liked the slight tartness of the cranberries countering the smooth sweetness of the white chocolate, and the texture and richness the walnuts added. The recipe, while certainly firmly in the dessert realm, uses just a ¼ cup of butter and is made mostly with whole grains.

I used to make these cookies all the time! Except I never put walnuts in it. Just Craisins and choc chips in my oatmeal cookies.
