Kicken Craisen Cookies

This recipe comes from culinary mystery series that I help out in the test kitchen. The series is written by Josi Kilpack and can be purchased here. This recipe comes from book 4, Key Lime Pie and is my favorite of all the recipies we have made so far.

Kicken Craisen Cookies

Preheat oven to 400* F

Ingredients:
1 cup butter                                        1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar                            2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla                                       2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups quick oats                       1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder                         1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cloves                                   1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon                                 dash of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cup craisens                            1 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs & vanilla till well combined. Add all dry ingredients and mix well. Add craisens, chocolate chips and nuts, using a wooden spoon to mix (dough will be too thick for most mixers.)

Roll into 1 inch balls, or drop using a cookie scoop, onto an ungreased cookie sheet about two inches apart. Bake 6 minutes or until barely browned- do not over bake.
