I was at a fun holiday party yesterday (a wine and food pairing party, I’ll be posting about this separately!), and one of our friends, Ryan, made the most delicious dessert: Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk cookies. Now, I only post recipes that I’ve personally made myself or ones that I’ve tried and think are excellent. These are, without a doubt, some of the best cookies I’ve ever had (I literally could not stop eating them).They’re perfect to take along to any holiday party and are also easy to make (beware, you will be spending some extra time on the treadmill unless you have great willpower, which I do not). Enjoy!
