Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies (aka Cranberry Hootycreeks) make a festive holiday cookie recipe made with rolled oats, white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and pecans.
I hosted my second annual cookie exchange in our neighborhood last weekend. It was so much fun! We have drinks and hors d’oeuvres, an ornament gift exchange and then exchange our cookies at the end. I look forward to this event, not only because I adore Christmas time, but I am building a pretty awesome collection of great recipes and holiday entertaining ideas.
I decided to layer my cookie recipe in a jar with attached directions for one of my take-home gifts for my friends. This year I made Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies because they’re not only super tasty but easy to layer too. I wanted to share this holiday recipe for your next cookie exchange, or maybe your next craving.
I love baking during the holidays. A few more favorite Christmas cookie recipes are these Apricot Tarts, Hazelnut Crescents, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups.
