OATMEAL CRANBERRY COOKIES

A home made alternative to one of my favorites. 

I’ve become one of those ‘order everything online’ type of girls.  I’m not going to lie, I never in a million years thought that would happen, but after my pregnancy and then dealing with a newborn it felt like the only solution to all of my problems. For the past year I’ve been getting my groceries delivered right to my door, and I can’t help but gush about how convenient and amazing it is that I don’t have to go to the grocery store. There’s only one problem about it. Trader Joe’s doesn’t deliver.

Now other than the fact that I am simply infatuated with everything at Trader Joes, it is home to one of my favorite ‘have with your coffee’ cookies. They are oatmeal cranberry dunkers with white fudge drizzle and one day I just completely ran out. (Do you see where I’m going with this?) 

Because the lazy girl in me and the newborn out of me couldn’t find time to go to Trader Joe’s, I decided that I would just get all the ingredients delivered to recreate my own.  Yes, I do realize that it takes a lot more time, but sometimes not leaving the house is worth it. Cue in: oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies with white chocolate chips.
