Gloomy weather does it to me as I have the urge to bake, and baking is detrimental to my weight loss efforts. So the key is to have the craving on a day when hubby had to go to work the next day and he can take the extras! Which he did.
Anyway, I was thinking how good Craisins were and that they would taste good with white chocolate chips. Lo and Behold! The good folks at Ocean Spray figured it out for me! This recipe was on the back of the mongo bag I had purchased from Sam's Club.
Excellent cookie! But man, it cost so much in WW points that I ate my one and only cookie really, really slowly.
Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip
Cookies
2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 ½ cup old-fashioned oats
1 ½ cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
2/3 cup Craisin Dried Cranberries
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together
in medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well. Combine
oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
Add to butter mixture in
several additions, mixing well after each addition. Stir in dried cranberries
and white chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie
sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
Makes 2
½ dozen cookies.
Tips & Tricks:
·
I used a medium cookie scoop and it made only 22
cookies with a diameter of 2-2 ½ inches.
·
I did put this into the WW recipe builder and
came up with a whopping 5 WW points per cookie.
Yeah . . . I ate one, but sent the remaining cookies to work with the hubby the
next day.
·
I’m lazy and prefer to use parchment paper on my
cookie sheets. It’s quick. It’s easy. And there is no clean up. Just toss the
paper in the trash when you’re finished cooking.
·
My oven tends to be on the hot side, so I baked
the cookies between 9-10 minutes.
Enjoy!
