Today is Day 7 of Christmas Cookie. This is the second type of cookie with cranberries in it. Cranberries are popular around Christmas so I decided to update my oatmeal cranberry chip cookie. I love oatmeal cookies. In fact one of my very favorite cookies, I make is my brown sugar oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is inspire by that cookie and my oatmeal raisin cookie recipe.

This cookie is pretty straight forward to make. I refrigerate the dough for a little bit, this helps them from spreading so much. My preferred method is making the dough ahead of time, scoop the dough and freeze them. Honesty a lot of times I will make the cookie dough ahead of time and freeze it, especially during Christmas baking season. That way I can bake the cookies when I need them.

I think cranberries are underrated. I love cranberries, but I think they have to be paired with something.I love them paired with chocolates, orange and rosemary are three of my favorite ways to pair them.
