Craisin Oaties

Craisin Oaties
I keep these on hand year-round to refuel after a great day working in the barn and riding
my horses. It is a delicious treat of oatmeal, chocolate and craisins – a must-have at any
holiday gathering.
INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
¾ cup butter, softened
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
⅔ cup brown sugar, packed
Beat together the butter and sugar in a medium mixing bowl
until light and fluffy. Add eggs, mixing well.
2 large eggs
1½ cups old-fashioned oats
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 5 oz. package Craisins (dried
cranberries)
⅔ cup white or semi-sweet
chocolate chips
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time,
mixing well after each addition. Stir in dried cranberries and
chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto a lined (with
either parchment paper or waxed paper) cookie sheet. Bake
for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden-brown.
