These White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are chewy and sweet with jewel-bright dried cranberries for a pop of tartness. Get these in your cookie jar for the holidays.
Cookies are like teeny tiny portable cakes that are easy to bake and a pleasure to eat. I definitely think any deities or ancestors we work with as witches would love a cookie. I mean, they're probably used to bland cakes made with coarse four and sweetened with honey and dried fruit. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but can you imagine offering Venus a perfect chocolate chip cookie. I think she'd really dig it.
Cookies would also make a gorgeous spell for sweetness to share with your coven. Their versatility is nearly limitness, and their potential for sharing with friends and family is unrivaled. They're simply the perfect sweet treat.
What makes White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies so awesome?
I love the chewy texture of these White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. The oats make them extra awesome. And the sweetness of the white chocolate perfectly compliments the tartness of the cranberries. It's perfectly balance without being overly sweet. I also love the pop of red in these cookies. They're like little jewels.
You'll fall in love from the first bite, and then each bite somehow gets even better. The oats are almost savoury and provide a beautiful contrast as well as that great texture. These cookies will be perfect for a Christmas cookie swap. They're so good, people will still be thinking about them hours later.
Magical Properties of Cranberries
Cranberries are fire on water when they're being harvested, so they carry the energy of both those opposing elements. They also carry feminine energy but are ruled Mars, so this is definitely a fruit of contrast. Use cranberries in spells for love, healing, protection, and courage. Add dried cranberries to charm bags or string whole cranberries on a garland for home protection.

Tips for making Whit Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
There are no real secrets to making these cookies. It's a standard procedure of creaming butter and sugars, then working in the egg an vanilla. Then you'll mix in the dry ingredients followed by the cranberries and white chocolate. Just make sure everything is thoroughly combined. You could chill this dough but you don't have to.
I like these cookies crisp around the edges and chew on the inside. That means you'll want to take them out of the oven when they just start to brown around the edges. Leave them on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes after you take them out of the oven and they'll continue cooking. Let them cool to crisp up a bit.

I know you'll fall in love with these White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. They're awesome enough to share, but I wouldn't blame you if you keep them all for yourself.

- I use a cookie scoop to scoop out walnut-size balls of cookie dough onto my baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches in between for the cookies to spread. I had enough dough for four batches of eight cookies.
- Bake your cookies for about 13 minutes or until they start to lightly brown around the edges. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Store in an air tight container if you can stop your family from eating them all.
