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!

Recipe makes approx. 2-1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

2/3 cup margarine, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 6-ounce package sweetened dried cranberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chunks or chips (~ 4-ounce bar, chopped)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Beat margarine and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, mixing well.
4. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl.
5. Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition.
6. Stir in sweetened dried cranberries and white chocolate chunks.
7. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
