I found this week’s recipe on the back of the Craisins bag my mom bought. If you don’t know what Craisins are, they’re basically like raisins, but they’re made from cranberries instead of grapes. Craisins come in multiple flavors (which are juice infused) including Original, Blueberry, Cherry, and Pomegranate.
(Wait, doesn’t it seem like raisins should really be called graisins or something because they’re grapes? Well, I consulted Wikipedia for how raisins got their name…The word raisin dates back to Middle English and is a loanword from Old French; in French, raisin means "grape," while a dried grape is referred to as a raisin sec, or "dry grape”.)
I like Craisins, but I know some people who don’t like them at all. So this recipe is more taste specific than most of the recipes I’ve made before. But if you do like Craisins, I recommend this recipe to you!
Using an electric mixer, beat butter or margarine and brown sugar together in a medium mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Add eggs; mix well. Combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt in a separate mixing bowl.
Add to butter mixture in several additions, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in dried cranberries (I used the cherry flavored ones. You can use any flavor.) and white chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
