Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Macadamia Chip Cookies + a Giveaway!

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

I was perusing Pinterest the other night when I started coming upon a bunch of different holiday cookies. Most of them were your typical peppermint chocolate chip cookies or maybe even mint ones that were green in color. This got me thinking... what kind of cookies haven't I had in a while but would love to try? And the answer was something with white chocolate chips (my recent fave!) and dried cranberries! I typed in the search bar "cranberry white chocolate chip cookies" and up came this recipe. Let me tell you. It DOES NOT disappoint. I measured out all of the ingredients that we would need and then I let Mason help me mix the ingredients (he actually did a GREAT job!) but then I put them on the cookie sheet myself (I did learn something from the last time). He was SO excited to help that he ran and got the chair from the dining area and brought it into the kitchen all by himself. I don't know what's gotten into him lately but he totally has the baking bug and is totally the best helper!

  3. So, because there is oatmeal in these, does it mean it's totally ok to have them with my morning pot of coffee? Because I need these in my life, and I'm pretty sure I'd have no issue polishing off a half a dozen with a good hot cup of joe.
