This is one of SC (Sous Chef) Fara's favorite cookies. I like them because they're semi healthy for a cookie! (which really means that I eat all of them in a shorter amount of time since I tell myself they're healthier) Hope you enjoy them too.
RECIPE
3/4 C. butter flavored Crisco
1/2 C. sugar
1 C. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp Almond Extract
1 1/2 C. flour
2 C. quick oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 C. chopped Craisins
1 C. white chocolate chips
* In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, powder, soda, salt and craisins. In another large bowl, beat Crisco, sugars, eggs, vanilla and almond extract together. Add the flour mixture and beat until well combined. Mix in the white chocolate chips. Take 1 TBL of dough and roll into a ball- place on a greased cookie sheet (I have a cookie scooper- which I love, makes this process so easy). Use 1 1/2-2 TBL dough if you like larger cookies. Bake at 375 for 7-8 minutes (turning half way thru). They should just barely be browned on top. Transfer to a cooling rack. Makes 4 dozen cookies. (Freeze what you won't eat in 2 days or think of someone who could use a 'pick me up')
Tips:
- I accidentally bought the cherry flavored craisins, which worked, but make sure you get plain dried craisins.
- Just do a rough chop on the craisins. They're sticky once you cut into them, so putting them in the flour mixture helps to keep them separated.
- Be careful NOT to buy vanilla flavored white chocolate chips. There's a lot of flavors in the cookie already- it's overboard to add another.
- Freeze the remaining white chocolate chips to make cookies in the future- these are perfect for Christmas with the red and white chunks.
