These white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies that I adapted from another recipe call to mind ones my mother used to bake. Instead of stirring in raisins like she did, though, I add bright red cranberries for festive flair. —Marjorie Goertzen, Chase, Kansas

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups white baking chips
1-1/4 cups dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in chips, cranberries and, if desired, pecans.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 3-in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
