I find so far these cookies are the most festive without relying on cute cookie cutters and royal icing decoration. My third cookie in the 12 days of cookies is the Triple Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookie. This cookie uses 3 chocolates ranging from dark, semi, and white alongside fresh cranberries and rolled oats. Heaven , literally in a bite. Of course I rationalize with myself the oats and fresh cranberries make it healthy! Right?

These cookies went over big in the office. A nice breakfast treat, if you will.
You will find these cookies are easy to pull together and require no chilling or shaping. Just pop them in oven and bake. You can get snazzy with your drizzle, but that’s quick and easy too. I didn’t go through any changes piping my chocolate topping, just used my spoon and went freestyle. Perhaps a mixed white and dark chocolate drizzle next time? If you are in hurry and want the topping to set, pop them in the freezer to harden and set. The bits of red and chunks of assorted chocolates will make this cookie stand out on any tray. The fresh cranberry adds a nice zing to each bite.You can find the recipe here. Enjoy.
