I loved this recipe but I made it with cherry chips instead of cranberries and it turned our great. I will be making more next year.

These are delicious, and really do make the nicest 'gift in a jar'. We call them "Cranberries in the Snow". Usually you don't get a beautiful layered jar AND a good taking cookie too, but this one delivres on both!

I have to say I love this cookie. It is very sweet with the white chocolate chips (but I'm one of those who thinks cookies should be sweet... and rarely do I find something "too" sweet). The tang of the orange-flavored cranberries is a nice change from raisins, and helps absorb some of the sweetness; consider using 1/2 a cup of white choc chips if you're not wild about overly sweet. The cookie bakes up lumpy (like a normal oatmeal cookie), but it is pretty with the red and white. After putting all the dry ingredients in a bowl, in a separate bowl I beat the egg & vanilla, then poured in the melted butter and mixed well. Then I dumped the flour mixture into the butter, sugar, vanilla mixture and stirred. You definitely want to stick in the fridge because the melted butter makes it quite goopy. I got about 30 medium-ish cookies, so when not giving as a gift I'll be doubling the recipe. I'll definitely be giving these Cookies in a jar for Christmas! Thank You!

Good, hearty cookie.

I put these together and sold them at a craft show. They sold out in minutes! After baking them, I got rave reviews and orders for several more.
