My New Love

I have been wanting to make these cookies for awhile. I needed to buy the craisins so I put them on the list. I decided I would get just a few from the bulk area. When I got there I could not find them anywhere. Well I was standing right in front of them. My new love is not the cookies, it is the red things in them. Justin pointed out that I was standing in front of the craisins and that is when he saw them... Raspberry Craisins! I didn't think it would make a difference but they are amazing! They are probably pure sugar but I am going to just ignore that part. Here is the recipe for the cookies. It is in the maroon Chesterfield Ward cook book.


Cranberry Oatmeal White Chocolate Churnk Cookies


2/3 Cup Butter (softened)
2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cups rolled oats
1 1/2 Cups flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 Cups Craisins
2/3 Cups White or Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips


Beat butter (or margarine) and sugar together in medium bowl, until light and fluffy. Add eggs; mix well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Add butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each time. Stir in craisins and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 minutes at 375 until golden. Makes 2 dozen.

I added the dry ingredients to the wet ones and they worked. I am excited to try them with the orange flavored craisins and use chocolate chocolate chips!
