Oatmeal Cranberry Almond White Chocolate Chip Chewies

-

Someone called me recently and asked if I'd be willing to be/can be  held accountable for the amount of cookies she eats when she makes one of the recipes from my blog. Ha, not a chance!! She had made the Oatmeal Chewies from a previous post and had also added raisins. So I got to thinking that by changing up the ingredients a bit you could make a Christmas cookie out of them, so I tried it last night. Verdict? Yes! Definitely delicious! and worth your time. At least in my opinion. ☺

Ingredient List:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups quick oats
1¾-2 cups all purpose flour (Gold Medal)
1 cup dried cranberries
¾-1 cup white chocolate chips
½ cup slivered almonds
Powdered Sugar

Size 30 cookie scoop.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a mixer bowl and beat till fluffy.

Add the next three ingredients and mix. Scraping down sides as needed for even mixing.

Mix in oatmeal.

Then add flour; mix.



Add the dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and almonds. Mix again.

Scoop them with a size 30 cookie scoop and roll in the powdered sugar.





Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly with your fingers.



Bake @ 350° for 12-15 minutes. Don't over bake them if you want chewy cookies.  MMM, delicious!!

Enjoy and be blessed!

    Ohhhh those look so delicious - I agree, it would be impossible to eat only a few - my kids like them best before they're cooked!!

    That word "chewy" just draws me in. I like chewy cookies much better than crispy ones. (Not that I'd turn down a crispy cookie!)
    Thanks for linking!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
