These are the white chocolate, cranberry, pecan, oatmeal cookies I made for Christmas. It may seem like an odd combination, but it is darn tasty! The tartness of the dried cranberries balances the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. The pecans are very nice with both flavors. The recipe called for walnuts or pecans, I personally like pecans more and I think the flavor is a little nicer with the cranberries, but walnuts work too, I'm sure. As for the oatmeal, it is quick oats so it has a texture similar to a normal (not oatmeal based) cookie, but it still has an oat-y taste.
Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.
