A delightful little cookie loaded with all the great rustic flavors of the season. These Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies {with Walnuts & White Chocolate Chips} are the perfect cookie to serve during the holiday season. I love to have a giant plate of these available for when family and friends stop by!
One of my least favorite things is raisins in my food. Give me a good old fashion oatmeal raisin cookie and I will probably eat it but you may find a small pile of raisins on the side of my plate. 🙂 But put craisins in it and I’m all in! What’s up with that?
They’re both so similar but for some reason they are so different to me. I guess it’s that slight tart flavor of the craisin that does it for me. Which do you prefer? Craisin or Raisin?
I made this giant plate of Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies {with Walnuts & White Chocolate Chips} to bring to a Halloween party. I wasn’t sure how they would go over with all the candy and other awesome desserts there but by the end of the evening the plate was wiped out!
People were fighting over who was going to get to bring the last few home in a ziploc baggy! So I guess you could say they were a success!
