Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Ok friends & family, here is the recipe to my favorite cookies!  During the holiday season, I like to use craisins & white chocolate chips to add a little more festive-ness.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup white flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
2 TB cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup raisins (or craisins!)
3/4 cup (white) chocolate chips


1. Combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt
3. Add dry mixture, a little at a time (about 1 cup) into the wet mixture, until well blended
4. Add the vanilla and blend
5. Stir the white chocolate chips and craisins into the mixture.
6. Chill the dough for 30 minutes
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and spoon dough in 1 to 1-1/2 inch balls onto the sheet.
8. Bake for 9-10 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
9. ENJOY!

This can make 2-3 dozen cookies depending on the size of your scoop.

So chewy and delish, and I have convinced myself they are somewhat "healthier".  Haha! 

I originally got my recipe from Erica's Sweeth Tooth, but tweaked it in a few areas.

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Lots of love,

Lex
