Ingredients

  • cup butter
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 10 to 12 oz bag white chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • zest of 2 medium oranges
  • ½ cup whole cranberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once it is melted, remove from heat.
  • Add the oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla and salt to the pot and stir until everything is well combined.
  • Onto the baking sheet, drop rounded teaspoons of cookie batter. Only have 6-8 cookies per baking sheet as cookies will spread. With the back of a spatula, flatten the cookies slightly.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven. Cool slightly on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Create a double boiler on your stove to melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt while stirring with a rubber spatula. Once melted and combined, turn off the stove.
  • Zest the oranges and finely chop the cranberries (use a food processor if you have one).
  • Dip each cookie in the chocolate and then place on the cooling rack. Sprinkle cranberry pieces and orange zest on the chocolate before it sets.

Notes

  • The tip to flatten the cookies should not be ignored! This helps them spread slightly so that they will bake properly.
  • Try to get the orange zest and cranberries as dry as possible. This will make for easier sprinkling and keep them from sticking together so much.
  • If the chocolate is not setting (maybe you're making these in the summer or have your heater blasting), place them in the fridge to set the chocolate.
