Each year I make everyone’s favourite cookie for Christmas…and these Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies with White Chocolate & Pistachios just happen to be mine. That is why I was so excited to feature this recipe in the The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2015!!

This was my very first time taking part in this wonderful cookie swap raising money for this year’s charity Cookies for Kid’s Cancer.

Fresh baked cookies cooling on a rack.

Bloggers from around the world take part in this fun holiday event.  How it works is you enter your name (along with a small charity donation), then you are assigned the names of 3 other bloggers in your country.  You have until a certain date to bake and mail 1 dozen cookies to each of the bloggers you have been given….BUT…it has to remain a secret.  Once bloggers start receiving their cookies they can go on all their social medias to thank and promote the blogger who sent them the cookies.  Today December 16, 2015…is the DAY when ALL bloggers post their recipes!!

My list of bloggers consisted of:  Cristina from I Say Nomato, Jason from Jason Sandeman and Stacy from 27th & Olive.

Note to go with the cookies when they are shipped.

It was so much fun baking these Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies with White Chocolate & Pistachios, packing them up and sending them out.  It was exciting getting my cookies too.  If you have never taken part in this before…be sure to take part next year…I know I will be!!

Wishing everyone a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!! ?

    I’m always looking for ways to use oatmeal. Oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites but everyone else doesn’t really like the plain ones with the raisins. Now, these cookies with the cranberry and the white chocolate ones they’d be nuts over. I don’t think I’ll save these cookies for the holidays, instead I’ll make them for the next picnic.

    This is such a great combination of flavours, Gloria! I love cranberries and white chocolate together. Sweet chocolate gets offset by the tartness of the berries making the cookies so yummy and balanced if you can use the word balanced for a cookie 🙂

    I’ve never used pistachios in my cookies, but I will pick some up on next Costco trip. I love cranberries and white chocolate. The Cookie Swap is a great way to blog for good – well done to all of you who participated 🙂 Merry Christmas 🙂

    Great looking cookies Chef G. All my favorite flavors. I love the bars at Starbucks but I’m too cheap to buy them. Ha,ha.
    I’m planning on using these flavors in an ice-cream this holiday season but I can totally see myself making these cookies for Valentine’s.
    Thanks for sharing your beautiful recipe.

      So glad you liked them. This was my first year doing this…and I was so worried they would get ruined in the mail. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

What about all that holiday baking, do you have a favourite cookie recipe? […]
