COCONUT, CRANBERRY, WHITE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Coconut, Cranberry, White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

I saw someone else with somewhat of a similar recipe and I tweaked everything. It's much healthier than the recipe I looked at originally. Make sure to take out the cookies immediately when they are ready. If they stay in the oven, they will quickly become too hard.

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter (I used a little less than that... like 1/3ish)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Cream shortening, butter, and the sugars.
Add eggs and vanilla then blend well.
In a new bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients except for the coconut.
Mix the coconut.
Combine the two bowls by mixing with a spoon.
Roll one inch balls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet (1" apart).
Baking for 9-10 minutes on the top rack until golden brown (the circumference of the cookies will look darker than the inside).
