Red, white, and blue cookies - recipe inside :)

Ahh..sorry, I know I am not a regular (sorry!) but I made these DELICIOUS cookies today!  I thought I'd post 'em here to show them off!  It's my first try at my own cookie recipe and I think it turned out GREAT

 

Red, White, and Blue Cookies

  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 package white chocolate pudding
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tbs. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 scant tsp. of salt (if using salted butter, half this)
  • 2 cups white flour
  • 1/4 scant cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup of oatmeal (optional - I also blended mine in the food processor to give it a finer texture. I imagine 2 and 1/4 heaping cup of white flour would also do the trick)
  • 6 oz dried cranberries
  • 4 oz dried blueberries
  • 1 package Nestle white chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Mix together both flours, salt, baking soda, and oatmeal and set aside. I blended all mine up together in a food processor to make the oatmeal have a fine texture.
  3. Combine butter, sugars, and package of pudding on high speed until completely blended and fluffy. About two minutes on stand mixer.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, until completely blended. Add vanilla and mix.
  5. Reduce the speed of mixer and slowly add the flour mixture until just blended.
  6. Stir in dried cranberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop by the spoonful onto a nonstick or greased cookie sheet, and bake about 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes and enjoy!

 

I should note that normally I don't like white chocolate or even dried fruit that much, but these were GREAT!  It all blended together so well!

Here's a pic of the turn-out... sorry, it's a crappy cell phone picture because I have been too lazy to go buy those expensive lithium batteries for my camera...
