Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream together butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and beat until fluffy. Add the baking powder, salt, ginger, flour, and oats. Mix until well combined. Add mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts (optional) and mix. Fold in your cranberries. (just a note, but you really want to use the mini chocolate chips for this recipe instead of the normal size chocolate chips.) (additional note: Yes, Nicki. These are the cookies I made you last year.)


Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 13 minutes, depending on your oven. They should look "set" and be just brown on the bottoms. Let cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before removing to wire wrack to cool completely.


These cookies have a sweet bite and then you taste the tart burst of cranberry...simply delicious! These look really festive around the Holidays too. Enjoy!
