So, I finally started my Christmas baking. A little late, but better late than never! It’s been a couple of years since I’ve made goodies and given tins to friends and neighbors. I always seem to run out of time! This recipe is adapted from Pillsbury’s Best Cookies cookbook. It’s a cookbook I’ve had for many, many years and I’m not sure I’ve ever made anything from it. Oatmeal, dried cranberries and a bag of white chips were taking up space in my pantry and knew I wanted to use them so I started looking at recipes. I omitted 2 of the original ingredients and added the cranberries. I used a larger scoop to make the cookies and baked them for 13 minutes. Line your baking sheet with parchment before baking so the bottoms don’t get too brown.
