Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a clean, quart-sized glass jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: all-purpose flour (mixed with baking powder, baking soda, and salt), rolled oats, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Pack each layer down firmly before adding the next to ensure everything fits.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a tag with directions for baking.
For baking the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Pour the contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl and combine with 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked Cranberry Hootycreek Cookies or give the jar as a thoughtful homemade gift!
