Well if the name alone doesn't have you salivating, wait until you smell these bad boys baking!
Dried cranberries make anything seem Christmassy in my humble opinion and in these cookies they add just the right amount of tartness to bring down the sweetness of the white chocolate and stop them being sickly
You will need
125g soft butter
75g dark brown soft sugar
100g caster sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla extract
150g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
75g rolled oats
40g cranberries (more if you'd like)
50g pecans roughly chopped (or chucked into a freezer bag and bashed with a rolling pin!)
150g white chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees
Cream your butter and sugars in a bowl with an electric hand mixer (or serious elbow grease) then beat in the egg and vanilla extract
Beat in the flour, baking powder, salt and oats then fold in the cranberries, pecans and chocolate chips
Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls with your hands and press onto a baking sheet, giving them a little squish to flatten them slightly
Bake for 15 minutes - they will be a pale gold colour when done
Set the baking tray onto a cool surface for 5 minutes whilst the cookies harden enough for you to slip a spatula underneath them and remove to a wire rack
Enjoy with a cup of tea!
Let me know if you give this recipe a try!

ReplyDeleteCranberry and white chocolate cookies are the best at winter, I've made other recipes before but will give this one a go too as mine always taste a little funny (: xx
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, coincidence! My friend recently gave me a packet of cinnamon dried cranberries and I was unsure what to do with them. Will definitely give this recipe a try now :-) looks delish xx
ReplyDeleteOoh that sounds delicious! xx
DeleteThey look lush! Instead of vanilla extract as a liquid, I use vanilla paste, it doesn't make much more of a difference but obviously it's thicker and I personally think it's much easier to handle and work with. You can get vanilla paste from Waitrose if you want to give it a go x
ReplyDeletemmmm, scrummy! x
ReplyDeleteYUM YUM YUM
ReplyDeleteCranberries are very powerful antioxidants so I'm going to rename these HEALTHY COOKIES so I don't feel bad about eating hundreds of them when I make them. yum yum yum xx
