"Boscoe's Bakes"... White Chocolate Orange Cranberry Oatmeal Crisps



Yesterday my friend Deb from Smitten Kitchen provided me with the inspiration I needed to decide which cookie to bake for a friend. She posted her fabulous experience making crispy oatmeal cookies from a recipe provided by Cook's Magagzine. http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/05/crispy-salted-oatmeal-white-chocolate-cookies/#more-497  and was completely in awe with the results. Having made these wonderful cookies previously, but not with white chocolate,  I decided to add the white chocolate and include minced cranberries and orange zest as well.  The results were absolutely wonderful.  With each crunchy bite, you encounter smooth white chocolate married to cranberries with a lovely citrus touch. These highly addictive cookies are great plain, or make a wonderful dunking companion with coffee or milk. I doubled the recipe, only used 4 cups of oatmeal and added 1 cup of "real" white chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of minced orange flavored cranberries and 2 teaspoons of orange zest. The combination of white chocolate, cranberries and orange zest.......Priceless!
