Cranberries and Chocolate


Cranberries make it healthy!

What do you do with a left-over brick of white chocolate, a bag of fresh cranberries and a semi-sweet Easter Bunny? Why make mixed chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies, of course! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/231316
They tasted very nice, a really good blend, but they flattened out more than I would have wanted. I think either I left the butter out too long to soften or next time I make them I need to add more oats and/or flour. But they were very pretty and pretty tasty too. I made some cranberry brownies to keep them company, which means I added a handful of chopped cranberries to a box mix of brownies. They are actually a nice tart little addition to the unrelenting chocolate which means you don't eat all of them at once, just most. Having said that, I probaby have to throw the rest out since there is a limit to how much baked goods even I can eat at one time.
