White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
I have fond childhood memories of the sweet aroma of cookies baking in our kitchen. That’s when I knew the holidays were quickly approaching.
My mom always made her oatmeal cookies recipe with raisins. They were her trademark cookie and oh how I loved them so.
This season, I’ve taken my mom’s recipe and elevated it to a festive level.
Dried cranberries and white chocolate give these cookies holiday flavors.
Gold sugar makes these oatmeal craisin cookies glisten, sparkle and shine.
I'd say it's time to start baking up a batch of Christmas Oatmeal Cookies.
