Looking for a new holiday cookie to make with your kids? Don’t look any further these Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans are just what you need to make!
This holiday season is flying by! It might be because we are in the midst of renovating a kitchen in our new house, packing and moving all before Christmas. Oh yea and all while 6 months pregnant, I might be a bit crazy! Some how I did find sometime to whip up a new holiday cookie recipe to share this week as part of my December #cookingwithlittles campaign that I am hosting on my instagram account @LaurenSharifiRD ! The campaign is encouraging families to cook more with their littles this holiday in hopes to inspire them to cook more throughout the coming year (and years to come!).
This recipe is for a Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie with Pecans I made with my son last week. I love that it incorporates a bunch of holiday flavors and ingredients and is fairly easy to make with toddlers. My son enjoyed snacking on the mix ins while cooking and then eating the cookies straight from the oven with a big ol’ glass of milk! Let’s just say these cookies did not last very long in my house and I will be making another batch very soon to share with friends and family over the holidays.
It has been so fun seeing how much my sons cooking skills (primarily scooping, pouring, stirring) have improved over the past year. He still make a lot of mess but he is much stronger, has a longer attention span and his hand eye coordination has definitely improved! I have definitely found the more freedom I give him to do it his own way (with some guidance of course) the quicker he learns!
