Cranberry Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
That’s a mouthful. As you can tell, I am no good at thinking up names for my recipes. At least you get the gist of what the cookie is made up of from the name. These are an excellent cookie for gifts. Nice and big and chock full o’ goodies.
ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
2 cups chocolate chunks
1 cup craisins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats or parchment.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, brown sugar and until fluffy. Add the egg, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
Beat in the flour until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Stir in the oats, chocolate chunks and craisins. This is a sticky dough, so make sure you use clean hands or an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies. Make 2 inch balls, and pat them down – I put about 8 on a sheet.
Bake in the oven for 14 minutes, depending on your oven. These make big cookies, so a tall glass of milk is definitely in order.
Yummy recipe…cutest red riding hood glass ever!
mmm…just used white and bittersweet choc chips instead of chunks cause that’s what I had. These turned out yummy but I think I would put more oats next time, to make them healthier(ha!).
