Cranberry Christmas Cookies

Written by on in Dessert, Uncategorized

It’s the holiday season! For this year’s cookie exchange at work, I decided to make red, green, and white cookies – red cranberries, green sprinkles, and white chocolate chips. My husband said the cookies were amazing! Let’s hope my co-workers agree. These cookies are somewhat like a jumble cookie. They have oatmeal, tart cranberries, sweet white chocolate, and a hint of ginger. Perfect for the Christmas Cookie Season! Santa will love them! This recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1.5 cups light brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour (sifted)

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground ginger

  • 1 and 2/3 cup old fashioned oats

  • 1 cup white chocolate baking chips

  • 2 cups fresh (or frozen) whole cranberries

  • Optional, zest of orange

  • Optional, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • Optional, green sprinkles (because it’s Christmas and you need red, white, and green!)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In mixer, cream butter.
  • Add brown sugar to creamed butter, and beat to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the 2 eggs with the vanilla.
  • Add half the egg mixture at a time, and combine into the creamed butter and sugar.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and ginger. Stir to combine.
  • In the mixer add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients a little at a time until combined.
  • Add the oats. Stir to combine.
  • Add the white chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
  • Add the cranberries. Stir to combine – careful not to pop the cranberries.
  • Add the optional ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Using a cookie scoop or 2 teaspoons, spoon out a quarter-sized mound of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. (I put down parchment paper for easy clean up). Keep each cookie about an inch apart.
  • Optional: Sprinkle the cookies with the sprinkles.
  • Bake for 14 minutes or until cookies are brown around the edges. (Add 2 minutes if your cranberries were frozen).
  • Cool for 1 minute and then move onto a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy! Don’t forget to leave a few out for Santa!
  • Recipe yields about 3 dozen cookies.

Notes

  • If you don’t have white chocolate chips, you can also chop up a bar of white chocolate for a white chunk cookie.
