Trader joes cranberry white chocolate oatmeal cookies recipe

It's simply this: I love to cook! :) I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.

A home made alternative to one of my favorites.

I’ve become one of those ‘order everything online’ type of girls. I’m not going to lie, I never in a million years thought that would happen, but after my pregnancy and then dealing with a newborn it felt like the only solution to all of my problems. For the past year I’ve been getting my groceries delivered right to my door, and I can’t help but gush about how convenient and amazing it is that I don’t have to go to the grocery store. There’s only one problem about it. Trader Joe’s doesn’t deliver.

Now other than the fact that I am simply infatuated with everything at Trader Joes, it is home to one of my favorite ‘have with your coffee’ cookies. They are oatmeal cranberry dunkers with white fudge drizzle and one day I just completely ran out. (Do you see where I’m going with this?)

Because the lazy girl in me and the newborn out of me couldn’t find time to go to Trader Joe’s, I decided that I would just get all the ingredients delivered to recreate my own. Yes, I do realize that it takes a lot more time, but sometimes not leaving the house is worth it. Cue in: oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies with white chocolate chips.

Roll balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-11 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft.
