Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

cranberry oatmeal cookiesSometimes me think what is love, and then me think love is what last cookie is for. Me give up the last cookie for you.
~Cookie Monster

Maybe part of love is compromise.

Finding a way to navigate and negotiate between the conflicting demands of small and larger humans.

Taking out the raisins and adding cranberries and white chocolate.

These Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies use butter and olive oil, because as much as I like butter, sometimes I find it overwhelming. (Also, olive oil is cheaper – around here, anyway).

Olive oil adds richness, and substituting it for only half the butter helps keep the cookie dough from getting too crumbly.

Take time at the start to really beat the butter and oil together, then beat with sugar and eggs until the mixture is very light.

And save the last cookie to split and share.

Cranberries and white chocolate are a great combination, and make these cookies a good middle ground between the raisin and chocolate chip oatmeal cookie camps.
