White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
These are a relatively simple twist on oatmeal raising cookies!
We've added white chocolate, dried cranberries and a cranberry glaze to make these feel a little more holiday!
- Cookies:
- 14 tbsp butter (about 1 2/3 stick), softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Cranberry Dark Balsamic
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats (quick cooking works too!)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cranberry Dark Balsamic
- 1/2 tbsp water
- few drops red food coloring
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, add butter and sugars and use a mixer (hand or stand) to mix until creamed together. Add eggs, vanilla and Cranberry Dark Balsamic and mix well.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix well.
Add oats and mix on low speed until mostly incorporated into the batter. Add cranberries and white chocolate chips; using a spatula or your hands, mix together.
Using two spoons, drop about a tablespoon of cookie dough onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Let the cookies set on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then move to a cooling rack. Let cool fully before adding glaze.
Glaze: combine sugar, Cranberry Dark balsamic, water and red food coloring together in a bowl and whisk until smooth. To minimize the mess, move cookies to a piece of wax paper or a clean baking tray - drizzle the glaze over the cookies decoratively. You can do this by either putting small amounts on a spoon and waving over the cookies OR place the glaze in a ziptop bag, cut a very small hole in the corner and drizzle it like an icing bag.
