Triple- Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

 

 

Chunks of fresh cranberries and dark, milk and white chocolate chips dress up oatmeal cookies for the holidays...
 

1 cup 

 

all-purpose flour

 

½ tsp 

 

baking soda

 

½ tsp 

 

ground cinnamon

 

¼ tsp 

 

salt

 

10 Tbs 

 

(1¼ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

 

½ cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

½ cup 

 

(packed) light brown sugar

 

1 large 

 

egg

 

1 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

1 cup 

 

old-fashioned oats

 

½ cup 

 

semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

½ cup 

 

milk chocolate chips

 

½ cup 

 

white chocolate chips

 

½ cup 

 

coarsely chopped fresh or frozen cranberries

 

2 ounces 

 

milk chocolate or white chocolate, chopped (for drizzling)

 

 

1

Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside.

3

In a large bowl, beat butter and both sugars with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and oats and blend just until incorporated. Stir in all chocolate chips and cranberries.

4

Drop batter by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, 2 inches apart (they will spread a bit). Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until edges are light brown, about 16 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely.

5

Place chopped milk or white chocolate in small glass pyrex bowl. Melt in microwave, stirring after 30 second intervals, until melted and smooth. Carefully pour chocolate into a small ziploc baggie. Snip a tiny piece off of the corner of the baggie. Squeeze gently to drizzle a zigzag pattern over baked cookies. Let stand until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.

 

Yield: About 30

 

 Cooking Tips

*For the prettiest cookies, halve your cranberries. Rather than mix the cranberries into your batter, place 2 to 3 cranberry halves onto your scooped batter drops on your cookie sheet (red side up). You'll be sure to get some of that pretty red color to show up in the finished cookie. It's easiest to halve frozen cranberries!

*If you need your chocolate drizzled cookies to set quickly, place them in the freezer for a few minutes.
