This is one of my favorite cookie recipes because it incorporates three ingredients that I love! It is a great holiday recipe and is very pretty with the cranberries in it. Because the recipe uses whole wheat flour, the cookies are a little heavier and do no spread when baking. Flatten them out a bit when you place them on the cookie sheet to bake. These are simple to make cookies. Store them in a tightly sealed container to prevent them from drying out. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chunks (may also use chips instead)

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, applesauce and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Combine the rolled oats, flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, stir in the cranberries and white chocolate chunks. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Slightly flatten cookies, bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Makes approximately 3 dozen.
