I forgot to photograph these, but trust me, they are awesome. I really believe these are my favorite cookies. Michael is a big white chocolate fan, so he loves them too. I made a cranberry white chocolate cookie last year, but these are better! My mother-in-law sent me this recipe with her annotations and I am leaving them because I followed it exactly!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon fiori di sicilia or orange extract
1 cup uncooked regular oats (I use Old Fashioned variety)
8 oz white chocolate, chopped [about 2 cups] I use the whole bag...can't remember if it's 8 or 10 oz
1 6 oz package dried cranberries
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well. Beat in egg and orange flavoring just until combined. Add flour mixture and oats; mix until blended. Stir in white chocolate chips and cranberries (I use the mixer to mix in the chocolate and cranberries).
Cover and chill dough 1 hour, if desired (I sometimes do not chill the dough; other times, I refrigerate it overnight.)
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls 3" apart, onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes (my oven cooks these in 10-11 minutes) or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
