I am overdue for sharing a recipe, so let's make it a tasty one! As far as my sweet tooth is concerned, I usually don't obsess about my dessert being healthy. I just indulge on occasion, in moderation. During the holiday season, I like to use craisins & white chocolate chips to add a little more festive-ness to this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup white flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
2 TB cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup raisins (or craisins!)
3/4 cup (white) chocolate chips
Directions
1. Combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
3. Add dry mixture, a little at a time (about 1 cup) into the wet mixture, until well blended
4. Add the vanilla and blend
5. Stir the white chocolate chips and craisins into the mixture.
6. Chill the dough for 30 minutes
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and spoon dough in 1 to 1-1/2 inch balls onto the sheet.
8. Bake for 9-10 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
9. ENJOY!
....
This can make 2-3 dozen cookies depending on the size of your scoop. So chewy and delish, and always a hit around Christmas time.
I originally got my recipe from Erica's Sweeth Tooth, but tweaked it in a few areas.
Yay for treats! Remember, all things are ok in moderation. It's ok to indulge from time to time and have no regrets.
Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful holiday season!
