The February 2007 Recipe of the Month Chocolate Cranberry Cookies These cookies with the touch of red from the candied cranberries are a fun treat for Valentine's Day or any day. Great with a nice dark chocolate (or a darker milk chocolate) stirred in, and served with a frosty glass of milk. We thank Robert Harrison of San Jose, California, for this great cookie.
Ingredients 3/4 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup milk 2 Tablespoons orange juice 2 eggs 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup oatmeal (not old fashioned) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 to 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped 1 cup (8 ounce package) candied or dried cranberries, chopped if too large 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips Directions Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until blended. Add milk, orange juice, and eggs, mixing well. Add dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, salt, baking soda) and mix well. If too liquidy, add a Tablespoon or so of flour. Stir in nuts, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. Drop by large teaspoonsful on cookie sheets, allowing room to spread in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, for 8-10 minutes. Should be golden brown, not too pale. Remove from oven, cool a bit, then remove from cookie sheets. Fabulous with milk or tea. Enjoy!
