White Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies

This is a good cookie jar and lunch box cookie. It also works well for a gift giving idea. Using a clear glass container or jar, layer the dry ingredients along with the craisins and chocolate chips. Tie the recipe onto the jar with a ribbon and you have a sweet little gift ready to deliver to a friend. All they have to supply is the butter, eggs and vanilla, then add the jar of ingredients and bake themselves fresh cookies.
Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups quick oats
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup craisins
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
Method:
  1. Mix together butter, brown sugar and eggs until smooth.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and mix.
  3. Using 2 spoons place medium size mound onto cookie sheets.
  4. Bake at 350 for 10-12. Allow to rest on pan for 1 minute and then remove to cooling racks.
Yields approximately 2 dozen cookies. This recipe can easily be doubled. Cookies freeze well.

  13. Brittany...good question. I have never made them without the oatmeal, but why not try to substitute the oatmeal for rise krispies....or even a mix of that and coconut. Give it a try and let me know! Happy baking.
