White chocolate oatmeal Craisin cookies

I had a morning appointment at Redo in Franklin (if you haven’t been, go now — love them) today and, as I am wont to do, brought The Kiddo with me. Fortunately he travels well, especially when the iPod is loaded up with Super Why. Know what else travels well? These cookies! I can neither confirm nor deny that they are lovely for breakfast sandwiched around a healthy smear of peanut butter.

This varies just a bit from the recipe on the Craisin bag, so here ’tis:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups oats
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 6 oz. bag Craisins
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

To make the goodness:

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla for 5 minutes at medium speed till mixture is light and fluffy
3. Combine dry ingredients in a second bowl and add to butter mixture one cup at a time, mixing till just incorporated
4. Stir in Craisins and white chocolate chips
5. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto nonstick or greased cookie sheets and bake for about 10 minutes until they’re just starting to brown around the edges
6. Cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then move to wire rack to completely cool

This makes about 5 dozen, and they  freeze beautifully! Enjoy!
