Hi, Is this a variation of a cookie called 'nick of time' white chocolate-cranberry cookies? Those had vanilla and orange oil, nuts, white chocolate and cranberries and were rolled in 'sour' sugar, I think. (I remember making my own sour sugar out of big-crystal sugar and ascorbic acid, since the sour sugar isn't available in Europe.) That's a terrfic recipe and became my personal favorite alternative to chocolate chip cookies (which I seem to have outgrown in middle age). Anyway, that's a fabulous cookie and this seems to be a variation. Am I dreaming? These 2 cookies do have a lot in common. The big difference is the oats. Either one will get you out of the kitchen and into the bleachers PDQ. Frank from KAF
