This cookie recipe originated from the Ocean Spray website and is also on the back of the Craisin package!  I did make a couple small changes to the recipe after reading some of the reviews.  We really enjoyed this cookie as it is not super sweet and is a little lighter than some other cookies. I will definitely make these again. These would also be really good with the addition of chopped walnuts or pecans! I made these as a gift for my neighbor but I also think these would be a great addition to any holiday table.

INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup Craisin’s
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, add vanilla and milk mix until combined.  In a mixing bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add this mixture to your butter mixture a little bit at a time mixing after each addition. When all combined, add the Craisins and white chocolate chips and mix by hand until well combined.  Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS
Keebler grasshopper cookies
1 package Ghiardelli melting white chocolate wafers
Candy canes, crushed

DIRECTIONS
Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package directions and taking one cookie at a time dip the cookie into the white chocolate covering the cookie completely, but letting the excess drip off.  Place the covered cookies on parchment paper or non-stick foil. Sprinkle the covered cookies with crushed candy canes and let the chocolate set for 15 minutes or until firm.

This recipe is a semi-homemade recipe using already made pie crust as the bottom of the cookie. I liked that as it made the recipe very easy to follow. These do taste like a mini pecan pie with a drizzle of chocolate! I had three teenagers in the house the day I made them and needless to say there were gone very quickly! Depending on what pie crust you use will depend on how many cookies you get. I used one Pillsbury pie crust (the package has two, so you could easily double the recipe).

INGREDIENTS
1 prepared single pie crust
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips for decorating

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large non-stick pan combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. Cook on the stove top over medium low heat just until thickened about the same consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and set aside.  Unroll your dough and using a 3 inch cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold the edges of the dough up, about 1/4 of an inch making a well in the center.  Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle.  Place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Do this for each cookie. Bake for 8 minutes or until the filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.  Place chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag and microwave for 15 seconds or until mostly melted. Snip off the tip of the and drizzle chocolate over the cookies. Cool until set.

Enjoy!

A few weeks ago I was on the hunt for a simple and healthy cookie.  Well the recipe I tried was awful and ended up in the trash, but not this one! This is so simple and so easy with all of the ingredients I have on hand!! This made 18 cookies and came together in just minutes! Did I mention only four ingredients! The taste was very good.  I will be making these again very soon!

 

INGREDIENTS
2 very ripe bananas
1 huge spoonful of peanut butter ( I used Jiff all natural creamy)
1 heaping cup of oats
Dark chocolate mini chips (I used less than a half a cup)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix banana’s , peanut butter and oats together until well combined and banana is mashed through. Add the chocolate chips mixing them throughout.  Spoon by small tablespoon onto a baking sheet sprayed with non stick baking spray and bake for 10 minutes. The bottom of the cookies will be slightly browned.
remove from oven and cool on a baking rack.

Enjoy!
